What diversion means, which construction materials are commonly separated and how to run a simple recycling plan on a job.
Diversion means keeping material out of the landfill by reusing or recycling it. On construction jobs, the streams most often separated are clean wood, metal, cardboard and concrete. Each one needs its own container or space, and each one needs to stay clean to be useful. A single bag of trash in a load of clean wood can send it to a different destination.
A simple plan starts with one or two streams that fit your project. Put containers near the work, label them clearly and brief the crew on day one. Check the boxes daily and fix contamination quickly. Builders in Nashville often start with cardboard or clean wood and add more as the crew gets comfortable. We help you plan the containers, and we are honest when a stream has no practical outlet nearby.
