What are types of demolition waste?

Demolition waste can be grouped into several main types. Inert waste includes concrete, bricks, rubble and soil, which do not decompose or react chemically. Non-inert waste includes timber, plastics, plasterboard and insulation. Recyclable materials such as metals, glass and clean wood can be processed and reused. Hazardous waste includes asbestos, treated timber, certain paints and contaminated materials that require specialist handling. Mixed demolition waste often contains a combination of these materials and must be sorted before disposal. Identifying the type of waste on site helps determine the correct removal method, ensures legal compliance, and maximises recycling while reducing the amount sent to landfill.
