Between project deadlines, balancing budgets and blueprint planning, contractors and project managers alike have plenty to worry about without the burden of optimizing their waste processes.

Streamlining the outsourcing of construction debris removal services like roll-off boxes, smaller dumpsters, bulky item pick-ups or even portable toilets and storage containers, especially across several sites, is increasingly valuable - to your company’s bottom line, your clients’ individual requirements and your own peace of mind.

At NWA, we understand construction and demolition waste management needs, including timeliness of deliveries and hauls, and jobsite constraints - whether you’re building new, renovating, or demolishing. We’ve helped numerous construction clients over four generations by implementing our 200+ years of collective experience to ensure construction waste removal is handled timely and managed in the most optimal and efficient manner.

Save Money and the Environment with Sustainable Waste Solutions

600 million tons of construction and demolition (C&D) debris were generated in the United States in 2018, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Concrete waste alone constituted more than 400 million tons.

With landfill fees ranging from $30-$150 per ton, not diverting concrete or other site recyclables from the landfill could mean a significant strain on your project budget, as well as the environment. Additionally, the cost of sending heavy materials like concrete waste to landfills can be greater than the cost of sorting and diverting those materials to a specialized recycler.

Fortunately, there are ways to avoid or minimize these pocket-draining and harmful effects. For example, recycled concrete is 10-15% lighter than virgin aggregate, helping to increase project efficiency by reducing hauling and material costs. In fact, one freeway construction project in Anaheim, California created roughly $5 million in savings in construction costs by using almost 700,000 tons of recycled concrete during the build.

Let NWA help you minimize costs and environmental impacts through construction material recycling and tailored waste solutions.

Keep a Balanced Budget with Flexible Waste Solutions

Does your current provider negotiate with waste haulers to ensure the best value? We do. With four generations of industry experience, we’ve built relationships with trusted vendors. This allows us to negotiate discounted pricing and uncover hidden fees, ensuring cost reductions for your construction company.

Our ability to arrange rebates, invoice reviews, and price renegotiations results in some of the most competitive rates in the industry, especially important as waste disposal fees often account for 2-10% of a project’s costs.

Don’t let your project managers carry this burden. At NWA, we gauge the markets for you to put the right balance of services in place well ahead of time, ensuring maximum operational efficiency and cost-savings. We also work side-by-side with you as an extension of your team to adjust your waste solutions immediately should any project changes, one-off disruptions, or emergencies that create special waste circumstances arise. We pride ourselves on being as accessible as possible, day or night. That’s why our clients appreciate the convenience of our 24/7 customer service line.
