Melbourne’s stunning heritage buildings connect us to the past, but restoring them requires more than skilled craftsmanship. A key part of heritage restoration Melbourne projects is managing the waste produced on-site. Proper waste handling not only protects the environment but also ensures compliance with local regulations.
Unique Waste Challenges in Heritage Projects
Restoration differs from modern construction. The materials you remove can be valuable, risky, or tightly regulated.
- Period materials: Old bricks, timber, plaster, and tiles may hold salvageable value. Proper sorting allows you to recycle or reuse them responsibly.
- Hazardous substances: Older buildings often contain asbestos or lead paint. These cannot go into standard skip bins. They require specialist removal under EPA and WorkSafe Victoria regulations.
- Council rules: Councils across Melbourne enforce strict laws on construction waste and bin placement. In many cases, you’ll need a skip bin permit to avoid fines.
