The waste produced in construction site include concrete, metal, brick, lumber, drywall, pipe, carpet, wood, paper, plastic, sand, glass, and aggregates. Instead of sending them to landfill, these items can be considered for recycling.

One of the most common reusable commodities in C&D waste flows are the aggregates. Clean aggregates can be considered for further use as a foundation material in road constructions. Besides, it can be reused as a substitute for gravel in concrete or a trench fill material for road maintenance.

There is no shortage of cleaning methods for handling these aggregates. The windshifters are the most common and effective way to get the job done successfully.

A trommelscreen can be used to separate the fines from the aggregates before feeding them into a windshifter. With high-pressure air blowers installed under the flow aggregates and the combination of the fast speed separation roller, the machine can potentially reach high capacity and a high separation ratio to produce top quality cleaned aggregates.

The recycling process requires heavy-duty recycling systems because of the weight and size of the chunks of material. These devices are required to separate these materials by type. This process includes screens, shredders, grinders, automatic optical sorting, air and water separators, and manual sorting to reduce the volume of waste and separate each element from one another.

Once sorted out, these elements are bundled and sent to paying markets for reuse rather than being sent to a landfill. There are a variety of construction and demolition waste recycling systems that can effectively withstand the large volume and high weight of materials involved in demolition recycling.

Sometimes, materials sent for recycling end up being poorly managed and mismanaged. Hence, it is essential to check a few things while looking for a recycling center. Aking your Burlington recycling consultant a few questions regarding state licensing or registration, third-party certification, and whether they comply with state and local regulations, can ensure the proper and intended management of your materials.
