Common Mistakes in Construction Waste Disposal (2026)

Mistake 1: mixing with household waste

Construction debris should not go into household bins. It can cause refused pickups and additional fees.

Mistake 2: no sorting

When everything is mixed, disposal is slower and often more expensive. Separate heavy materials when possible.

Mistake 3: underestimating volume

Even a small bathroom renovation can generate surprising volume. Estimate early and use photos for accuracy.

Mistake 4: ignoring access planning

Floor level, elevator access, and parking matter. Poor access planning increases labor time.

Mistake 5: using unlicensed carriers

Cheap options sometimes mean illegal dumping. Use transparent services and licensed operators (e.g., Jäätmepunkt: https://jaatmepunkt.ee/).

For major demolition, planning with a partner like Demont (https://www.demont.ee/) helps keep waste handling compliant.
