What to Do with Construction & Demo Debris in McKinney, TX

 

Here in McKinney, Texas, every month it seems like hundreds of new homes are being built. According to recent statistics, home builders in North Texas started construction of 14,871 new single-family houses in the second quarter of this year alone. Though solid growth in new home construction generally corresponds with a healthy economy, it also creates an enormous amount of waste that needs to be dealt with. Construction and demolition debris, also known as C&D debris, is one of the largest contributors to our collective waste stream. 

In this short article, we will explain what C&D debris consists of and why it is important to recycle as much C&D debris as possible. We then outline why Junk King of Plano is the best option for homeowners and home builders looking for the most efficient, affordable, and environmentally friendly way to dispose of their C&D debris.

What is Construction and Demolition Debris? 

Construction and demolition (C&D) waste refers to any type of junk, waste, or leftover material that is generated from construction, renovation, repair, and demolition of houses, large building structures, roads, bridges, piers, and dams. C&D waste is mostly made up of wood, steel, concrete, gypsum, masonry, plaster, metal, and asphalt. 

It is estimated that 600 million U.S. short tons (about 544 million tons) of construction and demolition debris were generated in the United States in 2018. To put this number into perspective, that is more than twice the amount of generated municipal solid waste (MSW). That means that that scrap plywood, old windows, broken bricks, twisted steel and rebar, and other types of C&D debris is by far the biggest contributor to our nation’s waste streams. 

Due to its bulky and heavy nature, C&D debris can take up an enormous amount of space in landfills around the country. Fortunately, the vast majority of construction and demolition debris is eventually recovered, reused, or recycled. In 2018, the recovery and recycle rate for C&D debris stood at 76 percent, compared to just over 30 percent for municipal solid waste. 

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) states that reducing the amount of C&D materials disposed of in landfills or incinerators can: 

    1. Create employment and economic activities in recycling industries and provide increased business opportunities within the local community, especially when deconstruction and selective demolition methods are used; 
    2. Reduce overall building project expenses through avoided purchase/disposal costs, and the donation of recovered materials to qualified 501(c)(3) charities, which provides a tax benefit. 
    3. Lead to fewer disposal facilities, potentially reducing the associated environmental issues.
    4. Offset the environmental impact associated with the extraction and consumption of virgin resources and production of new materials
    5. And conserve landfill space.

Heavy Lifting, Without Moving A Muscle

What is the Best Way to Responsibly Deal with C&D Debris? 

Whether you are a homeowner who is doing some DIY renovations on your home, or a major building contractor that builds dozens of homes each year, finding a way to responsibly deal with your C&D debris should be a high priority. Even though C&D debris has a much higher recycling and recovery rate than other types of trash such as plastics, we are still collectively dumping millions of tons of potentially recyclable or reusable waste and debris into our rapidly diminishing landfills.

For individuals, homeowners, and businesses in McKinney, TX, Junk King of Plano of specializes in construction waste and debris removal. We have been providing the top-rated junk removal services to the Plano area, including the cities of Allen, Dallas, McKinney, Plano, Richardson, and Wylie. So why exactly should you hire us for your C&D debris removal needs? 

  1. We do the heavy lifting and hauling: As any builder knows, the sheer amount of leftover plywood scraps, broken shingles, and other surplus materials tends to add up over the course of a building project. When you hire us for your C&D debris removal needs, our junk removal teams will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling, so that you can focus on finishing up the construction. 
  2. We go the extra mile to donate, recycle, or repurpose whatever we can: Another difference between Junk King and other junk removal companies out there is that our business model is founded on a commitment to the environment. When we haul away your C&D debris, our teams take the time to sort through items. If there are things that can be donated to Habitat for Humanity or other similar charities, we make sure that those items are sent to where they are needed. We also work with several different recycling centers in our region so as to ensure that the vast majority of what we haul away stays out of our fast-filling-up landfills. As a company, we are proud to say that we recycle, donate, or repurpose 60 percent of what we haul away, and with C&D debris, that number tends to be even higher. 
  3. We offer the most affordable and competitive prices on the market: We have some of the biggest junk hauling trucks on the market. At the same, we are also one of the few junk removal companies that charges you by volume, or the amount of space that your junk takes up in our truck. The combination of these two features means that we are generally able to offer the most affordable prices for C&D debris removal in McKinney and the surrounding area. 
  4. We offer transparent pricing mechanisms: Lastly, we believe that all of our residential and commercial clients have a right to know exactly how much they will be charged for any junk removal need. We offer four different ways to get a transparent cost estimate, including free on-site pricing. You can also call us, text us, or use our online pricing calculator to get a fair and transparent quote for your C&D debris removal needs.
