Reduce Reuse Recycle Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. Whatever the nature and characteristics of the waste may be, it all has one thing in common.
All waste represents loss of resources and loss of money.
Your company can benefit in a number of ways from reducing the amount of waste it needs to dispose of. Since each project is different, generating its own unique combination of wastes, the project manager must be flexible and creative in findings ways to reduce, reuse, or recycle the various types of waste. Managing construction and demolition wastes can constitute a significant cost to the business. Some wastes, such as asbestos and refrigerants, require careful and perhaps expensive handling techniques in order to avoid endanging public health or environment. Even nonhazardous wastes must be properly managed to ensure safe handling and disposition.
