Fragen & Antworten

What does the disposal of construction waste cost?

The costs for the disposal of construction waste depend largely on the disposal method. This in turn is influenced by various factors, such as pollutant content, foreign materials and material type.

The lower the pollutant concentrations and the fewer foreign materials contained in the construction waste, the lower the disposal costs.

Pollutant loads

Construction waste can contain pollutants that have either been created by human activity (anthropogenic) or naturally (geogenic). If a certain limit value is exceeded, the rubble is considered contaminated, which makes disposal significantly more expensive. In these cases, disposal is often only possible to a limited extent and higher costs are incurred.

Material type

The type of material does not always play a role in the disposal costs, but can be important when reusing recycled material. If the construction waste is easily recyclable, for example if it consists mainly of clean concrete or bricks, the costs can be reduced by recycling it elsewhere.

Foreign materials

Foreign materials such as plastics, metal parts or organic waste in construction waste significantly increase the cost of disposal. Many recycling plants only accept unmixed construction waste, which limits the choice of disposal options. The fewer foreign materials contained in the construction waste, the cheaper the disposal will be.

How can you dispose of construction waste cheaply?

Plan disposal at an early stage

The disposal of construction waste can be complex, as numerous regulations and requirements have to be met. To make the disposal process as cost-effective as possible, early planning is crucial. Close co-operation with all parties involved can help to avoid unnecessary delays and additional costs.

Separation of materials

Disposal costs can be significantly reduced if the construction waste is sorted during demolition. Different materials such as concrete, bricks, wood or metal should be collected separately. Pure construction waste is easier to recycle and can often be disposed of more cheaply as less re-sorting is required.

Avoidance of foreign materials

In order to keep disposal costs low, foreign materials such as plastics, organic waste or hazardous substances should be avoided and sorted out at an early stage. Such impurities make recycling more difficult and considerably limit the possible disposal routes. The cleaner the construction waste is, the cheaper it is to dispose of.

Where can you dispose of building rubble?

The disposal of construction waste can be organised by the building contractor, a waste disposal company or the building owner themselves. Depending on the type of construction waste and its composition, various disposal methods are available.

Utilisation

Construction waste is utilised when the material is reused or recycled. In this case, the construction waste is assigned a new function elsewhere, which can save costs and is environmentally friendly at the same time.

Examples of utilisation:

  • Use as recycled material in road construction
  • Production of recycled concrete
  • Filling excavation pits and levelling the terrain
  • Use as fill material in construction projects
  • Utilisation as an aggregate in brick and concrete production

Elimination

The disposal of construction waste is necessary if the material cannot be recycled due to contamination or pollutants. In this case, the rubble must be disposed of in landfill sites. This is often the more expensive option, especially if it contains hazardous substances.

Examples of elimination:

  • Landfill of building rubble
  • Disposal in hazardous waste landfills for contaminated materials
How much does it cost to dispose of 1 tonne of concrete?

Costs for disposal
The prices for the disposal of 1 tonne of concrete start at 20 to 50 Euro for unloaded concrete. However, contaminated concrete or additional processing, such as crushing large pieces, can significantly increase the costs.

Proven concrete (concrete with steel)
Concrete with steel is not a problem, as the steel is automatically separated during the crushing process. The scrap value contained is credited as a rebate, which can slightly reduce the overall costs.

Edge length of the concrete pieces
Concrete pieces with a Edge length up to 50 cm can be fed directly into the crusher.
Pieces with a Edge length over 50 cm must first be crushed with an excavator. This additional work step causes Additional costsas an additional machine and labour time are required.

Load class
The load class has a considerable influence on the disposal costs.

  • Unloaded concrete is cheaper because it can be recycled.
  • Loaded concrete (e.g. with MKW or sulphates) requires special disposal and often additional analyses. This significantly increases the costs.

Tipps zur Kostenreduzierung

  1. Prepare concrete pieces
    Make sure that pieces of concrete under 50 cm edge length to avoid additional costs for breaking.

  2. Separate unloaded concrete
    Clean concrete without foreign materials such as wood or plastic can be recycled, which is more favourable.

  3. Leave the tried and tested concrete
    Do not separate the steel yourself, as it is automatically separated during crushing and allows for a refund.

  4. Carry out an analysis in advance
    Have the load class of the concrete analysed in advance to avoid any surprises in terms of disposal costs.

  5. Bundle larger quantities
    The larger the quantity, the cheaper the costs per tonne often are.

What is construction waste?

Bauschutt is a mineral waste that is produced on construction sites during building, remodelling or demolition work. Typical materials include concrete, bricks, tiles, ceramics and natural stone. Construction waste is often recycled and processed into new building materials, e.g. as gravel in road construction.

Typical components of building rubble:

  • Concrete
  • Brick
  • Tiles and ceramics
  • Mortar residue
  • Natural and artificial stone

Construction waste does not includeMaterials such as wood, plastics, insulating materials, plaster or metal. These are classed as mixed construction waste or hazardous waste and must be disposed of separately.


AVV key for construction waste

Construction waste is classified according to the European Waste Catalogue (AVV). Important AVV keys are:

  • 17 01 01Concrete (unloaded)
  • 17 01 02Brick (unloaded)
  • 17 01 03Tiles and ceramics (uncontaminated)
  • 17 01 07Mixtures of concrete, bricks, tiles and ceramics (uncontaminated)
  • 17 09 04Mixed construction and demolition waste without hazardous substances

Special AVV codes apply to contaminated building rubble, for example:

  • 17 01 06Mixtures of concrete, bricks, tiles and ceramics containing hazardous substances (e.g. asphalt containing tar or concrete contaminated with harmful substances).

Importance of the declaration analysis

In order to determine whether the building rubble is uncontaminated or contaminated, a Declaration analysis carried out. This analysis determines:

  • Pollutants (e.g. asbestos, mineral oil hydrocarbons [MKW], heavy metals).
  • sulphate values or other chemical parameters.

The results of the declaration analysis determine whether the construction waste must be recycled or disposed of as hazardous waste.


Recycling and disposal of construction waste

Recycling
Uncontaminated building rubble is often recycled, for example into gravel or other building materials.

Disposal of contaminated building rubble
If the rubble is contaminated, it is disposed of in special landfill sites. This incurs higher costs and requires additional evidence.


Tips for the disposal of construction waste

  1. Separate material
    Separate mineral waste from other construction site waste such as wood, plaster or plastics.

  2. Perform declaration analysis
    Have a declaration analysis prepared to determine the load and the AVV code.

  3. Plan transport and quantity
    Larger quantities can often be disposed of more cost-effectively. Use transports that are optimally planned.
