Surely Byron Council can do something about the lack of recycling at building sites in Byron Shire? In the recent house builds near our house I’ve seen over ten skips leave one property. On several occasions the tradesmen were cutting up perfectly good timber and long lengths of pvc pipes to fit into skips and one skip was filled with only gyprock offcuts!
I’ve heard that companies allow for ten per cent plus as wastage in quotes. Surely we can do better and make recycling mandatory? How many potential dwellings are going to landfill?
