Waste Guide

Construction & demolition waste

Bin: Skip

Rubble becomes granulate for roads and concrete.

Renovation work produces construction and demolition waste. Around three quarters of it is stony material. The cleaner the skip, the higher the grade of granulate and the lower the rate.

This belongs in it

  • Rubble, concrete and masonry
  • Tiles and roof tiles
  • Plasterboard and aerated concrete (keep separate)
  • Clean sand and soil
  • Other building materials

This does not belong in it

  • Asbestos and suspected asbestos material
  • Hazardous waste, paint and solvents
  • Household residual waste
  • Contaminated soil without testing

What happens to it?

  1. 1. Order a skip

    A skip is placed at an all-in rate including delivery, removal, processing and six weeks' hire.

  2. 2. Post-sorting

    At the yard the skip is post-sorted: wood, metal, glass, plastic and paper are still pulled out.

  3. 3. Crushing and screening

    The stony fraction is crushed, ground, washed and screened.

  4. 4. Granulate

    The result is granulate: road foundation or aggregate for new concrete.

Where is it processed?

Post-sorted at our own yard in Purmerend; crushed and screened at a rubble crusher.

This is what it becomes

  • Mixed granulate for road foundations
  • Concrete granulate as aggregate
  • Recovered wood, metal and plastic

Rules and legislation

Stony material appears in the Circular Materials Plan among the streams that must always be kept separate, regardless of quantity. Asbestos and suspected asbestos material are subject to their own, stricter rules.
