Construction and Demolition Waste
Leftover demolished/ building materials are categorised as waste (even though the materials may sometimes seem inert). Examples of construction and demolition waste:
- soil,
- rubble,
- stones,
- boulders,
- plaster,
- bricks,
- tiles,
- gravel,
- timber,
- plaster
Construction and demolition materials are usually very suitable for reuse with low cost and minimal efforts (segregation and re-grading) required to make them suitable for a second use. However material is often illegally dumped so the opportunity for its reuse is lost.
Dumping Construction and Demolition waste is illegal
Landowners should also be aware that under the Protection of Environment Act 2003, they are liable to prosecution should dumping occur on their lands, whether they are complicit in the activity or not. Like all other wastes, if you need to get rid of Construction and Demolition waste you must transfer it to a permitted collector or a licenced or permitted waste site.
Permits will ultimately serve to ensure that waste materials are managed in an environmentally friendly way. By using non-permitted waste collectors, waste is very frequently illegally dumped, buried or burned. Allowing waste to be collected by non-permitted collectors is an offence and as the generator you can be liable to prosecution under the Waste Management Act. It is your obligation to ensure that you are using a Permitted Waste Collector.
How can I check that my waste collector is genuine?
If you have doubts about how your waste is handled, ask to see a hardcopy of your collectors permit (they are obliged to carry it on their collection vehicle), contact your Local Authority to establish permit status, or check out www.connaughtwaste.ie (To find a collector for any particular waste type, click on "permits" and then click on "search collector permits"). If you want more information on how to dispose or recycle waste this website will provide this information by giving a full listing of all permitted collectors working in the Connaught Region.
Permits and Licences held by waste collectors must be valid for the type of waste being handled and contractors must be permitted to collect in the specific county from which the waste originated.
