Why Proper Construction Waste Disposal Matters
Construction and demolition waste can pose environmental risks if not managed correctly. Improper disposal leads to landfill overflow, pollution, and wasted resources. At Rhino, we are committed to reducing landfill waste by prioritizing recycling, repurposing, and responsible disposal for every project we handle.

Understanding the types of waste produced during construction or renovation projects is key to determining the best disposal method. We commonly handle:
- Wood Waste – Reusable and recyclable lumber, pallets, and plywood.
- Concrete & Masonry – Crushed and repurposed for construction and landscaping.
- Metals – Salvaged and recycled to reduce resource depletion.
- Drywall & Plaster – Processed into new drywall or used for soil enhancement.
