Whether you are a homeowner who is tackling a home improvement project on their own or part of a construction team that spends each day working on different job sites, it is important for you to be aware of how you can contribute to recycling efforts when it comes to disposing project waste. Although what you are getting rid of may be large in size, there are certain materials that always belong in the recycling bin since they can be repurposed and reused in the future. Not sure which ones? The following is a list of construction site materials that can and should be recycled -

Wood

Sheetrock/Drywall

Steel

Concrete

Asphalt

Now, although you may be thinking that these materials are bruised and battered by the time they wind up in the recycling bin - well, you're right. However, scrap or not, even the smallest piece of wood, drywall, steel, concrete or asphalt can be reused in the future to aid in a new construction project.
