Reuse and Recycling of Wastes

The construction of the house has generated some left over construction material and some construction wastes. The amount of construction wastes are not excessive, so I should be able to put them to use on my property in one way or another some time in future. And if over time I see that some of that waste will not end up getting used, I will try to find an appropriate recycling center.

There were left over construction materials ( AAC blocks, bricks, gravel, sand, lots of wood palets, etc.) which I can use in future projects. In particular, I still need to build a sunroom to my house, and I plan to build a large greenhouse for food production. These two projects will probably absorb most or all of this excess construction material. I also plan to build several dog houses with these left over materials. As for the wood, I also plan to build numerous bat and bird houses, a moveable chicken coop, as well as some house furniture, and other odds and ends. Some of the construction material waste, which is primarily chunks of broken AAC, brick and concrete, have already been used in the foundations of the wind generator, PV solar tracker mount, and one dog house. l plan to use the rest for the foundations of the sunroom and greenhouse, as well as for the other dog houses that will be built. There were also several garbage bag fulls of polyurethane foam cuttings of waste. I plan to use these cuttings by triturating them into fluff and using this fluff as insulation, either to make insulated cement blocks or by filling wall cavities with.

Whatever other construction waste I can not find a use for, I will take to an appropriate recycling center. However, I do not expect that I will have to do this as I am confident of finding uses for all construction waste. Luckily, if I do not, whatever is to be recycled will be so little that I can put that small quantity into the trunk of my Yaris and drive where needed.
