Even small-scale construction sites can generate a lot of waste. The larger the job, the more waste gets produced. Construction waste includes wrappers and bindings from supplies, offcuts from things like drywall and lumber, and demolition waste. All that waste needs to be removed and disposed of properly. The general contractor can do that as part of their job or contract with a waste removal company specializing in construction waste. Contracting with a waste removal company can be a good idea for a general contractor.
Scheduled Pickups
One reason is that the waste removal company can schedule to pick up the waste regularly. Depending on the size of the job, that could be a couple of times a week, or it could be once every two weeks. It depends on the job and how much waste is generated. On top of those scheduled pick-ups, the waste removal company can also come to do one-time ones if there is too much waste to wait until the normally scheduled time.
Less Expensive
It will also be less expensive for the general contractor to have a waste removal company handle all the construction waste. The general contractor won't have to pay for employees to take the waste to the appropriate disposal sites. Nor will they have to make sure that they have vehicles that can handle the waste disposal. The waste removal company will hire and pay employees to handle the waste. They will also have the right kinds of vehicles and dumpsters to deal with the waste. The general contractor only has to pay for the contract; the waste removal company covers all the other costs.
Productivity
Construction jobs are often on tight deadlines. The contractors may get bonuses if certain milestones are met by specific dates. Because of this, the contractor needs all hands on deck, which means having to send employees to deal with construction waste takes them away from other jobs. That makes those jobs take longer to get done. A waste removal company will help with productivity by freeing up construction employees to do their jobs.
Construction jobs and waste go together. Any job site, even small ones, generate all kinds of waste. General contractors need to handle all the logistics of their sites, and that should include working with a waste removal company that specializes in construction waste disposal. It can make the general contractor's job a lot easier.
