The beginning of the new year marks further changes in waste segregation. Construction and demolition waste within the change scope
According to the new rules, construction and demolition waste will have to be collected and segregated into six specific fractions:

Construction and renovation companies will have two ways to choose one of the two options to fulfill these obligations. Comapnies can segregate waste themselves or outsource this task to specialised external companies. In practice, this means that appropriate containers or containers will have to be provided at construction sites and for renovation works, enabling separate collection of individual types of waste. The new regulations entail additional obligations and costs for developers and renovation companies, nonetheless, these changes objective is to increase the level of recycling and reduce the amount of waste landfilled. The new regulations’ fulfillment has a direct impact on environmental protection.

It is important to remember that throwing construction waste into regular municipal waste containers is prohibited and may result in imposing a fine.
