COLLECTION OF CONSTRUCTION WASTE 6 624 documents licensing the construction of new buildings were issued in 2011. Even 88 per cent of Lithuanians express a need of repairing their home. Collection of Construction Waste The construction and demolition waste includes waste forming during construction, reconstruction, repairs or demolition of buildings, also a construction product waster. Construction waste is collected from enterprises, organizations and individuals by containers, according to a certain schedule. The construction and demolition waste is brought to inert waste dumps, there they are further recycled or utilized. To reduce volumes of waste getting into dumps, we offer our customers to sort construction waste in places where it is forming – to separate demolition waste from finish, accumulate unpolluted concrete waste separately. A part of construction waste may be recycled; a part of it may be used for road reconstruction or in other fields. Every 10 years At such frequency most Lithuanians are repairing their homes. WASTE COLLECTION METHODS Construction and big-sized waste forming during construction, repairs or demolition of buildings may be collected in three ways: • On special routes: according to a schedule settled in advance waste is collected from yards of apartment buildings and sites of domestic waste containers located near buildings; • In construction waste containers: special metal containers are placed in residential or commercial areas or building lots. Their capacity may amount to from 5 up to 20 cbm. Full containers are replaced by empty ones; • In big-bags: this pre-payable service is especially important to individuals or enterprises, holding low amounts of construction or big-sized waste – those who are repairing their homes or willing to get rid of unnecessary things.
