Increased Controls for Demolition Waste Management
December 21, 2025
The Ministry of Agriculture and the Department of Environment are intensifying controls on demolition waste, aiming for proper management and recycling at a rate of 70%. The new legislation imposes increased obligations on contractors and states that waste must be transported to licensed facilities. The Department of Environment is cooperating with collectors and transporters to create more licensed storage sites. The checks will focus on the quantity and content of waste to avoid illegal practices. The goal is to ensure safe and legal management of construction waste.
