Construction and Demolition Waste Reports
Construction and demolition wastes, such as soil, concrete, and
bricks comprise just over half of the controlled waste handled in
Scotland. Further information on these wastes is available on
the construction and demolition waste page.
SEPA has produced reports on the types and
quantities of construction and demolition wastes managed by
licensed/permitted sites and exempt activities in Scotland:
It is important to note that these reports show waste managed,
not waste arising, as some of the waste may be double-counted if it
passes through more than one facility. SEPA are currently
working on a methodology for estimating waste arisings.
Further information on trends in construction and demolition
waste is available in the Waste Data Digest.
