Interior Renovation & Construction Waste Disposal

Follow these steps

  1. 1

    Separate combustible items (wood, wallpaper, vinyl) from non-combustible items (tiles, concrete, bricks).

  2. 2

    For small amounts (<5 tons): Purchase dedicated non-combustible heavy-duty sacks (20L/50L) from local stores.

  3. 3

    Pack sharp tile fragments carefully inside the sack so they don't pierce through.

  4. 4

    Attach any required sticker and place the sack at the designated collection spot.

  5. 5

    For large renovations (>5 tons): File a construction waste disposal plan with your district office and hire licensed haulers.

Frequently asked question

How should I dispose of kitchen sinks or countertop slabs?

Slabs and sink cabinets should be registered online as bulky waste or broken down into non-combustible sacks.

Where do I throw leftover wallpaper or linoleum flooring?

Paper wallpaper and vinyl flooring burn; fold them into general trash bags, or tie large rolls as bulky waste.

Who pays for downstream water damage if pipes burst during interior renovation?

Water damage caused by renovation contractor negligence must be covered by the contractor's Commercial General Liability (Contractor Liability) policy, not the homeowner's personal liability insurance. Always verify your contractor's active liability insurance certificate before commencing demolition.
