How our end-to-end construction waste and recycling solution works.
Our construction waste management solution at Rowles Site Solutions is about more than just collecting and disposing of construction debris—it’s about enhancing safety and efficiency on every site. We collaborate closely with builders to proactively identify and eliminate potential hazards by meticulously removing waste at each major construction phase. From concrete and bricks to gyprock and plasterboard, every type of building waste is cleared away promptly, providing tradespeople and builders with a clean, safe environment to proceed confidently to the next construction stage.
The process begins with a simple conversation to clearly understand your specific requirements. From there, our team arrives promptly on-site to perform an initial clean, conduct a comprehensive hazard assessment, and strategically set up skip bags. As construction progresses, Rowles Site Solutions returns regularly to collect filled waste bags and thoroughly clean the site—ensuring all hazards are consistently removed, and maintaining a safe workspace for your team.
To help us get your project set up smoothly, we’ll need a few things from you before we deliver your first waste bag:
- A copy of your site plans.
- The purchase order(s) for the job, matching the values in your pricing schedule.
Having this information will enable us to set up your project with all necessary details, including allowances for waste and brick bags.
Remember, we need at least three days’ notice to schedule any job. If you need something done urgently, we can help, but a Call Out fee may apply.
Book in your first site clean when external drainage is complete and before frame delivery.
- We'll complete an initial backblade of the site (if needed), removing any waste concrete, steel reinforcement, and mesh.
- Our operator will level off the front of the site and set up a new waste bag if required.
Please let our office know the expected date when the framers will be finished, as well as the expected date for brick delivery. This helps us schedule masonry and brick bag setup.
Let our team know where you’d like us to place the masonry and brick bags for the bricklayers, and how many bags you’ll need, based on site access.
- We'll come to the site to remove steel and timber waste. We’ll use Hebel bags for all Hebel removal.
- We'll set up one or more 1m³ masonry/brick bags for the bricklayer depending on your request.
- RSS masonry bags will also be provided for tiled roof builds. The same call-up process applies, and roof tile bags will be placed as close to the scaffold as possible for easy loading from above.
When the masonry bags are full, get in touch with us for removal. If space allows, we can also change over bags during the bricklaying and roofing process to ensure the trades have enough room to work.
- We will clean the site once the scaffold is removed.
- We will provide a bobcat, machine operator and labourer.
- Our site cleaners will fill the 1m³ masonry bags with any mortar, concrete tile, and broken bricks, and we'll remove them with a Hiab truck. If more masonry bags are needed for extra masonry waste, we'll request a purchase order (PO).
- This stage is a full reset for the site, setting the standard for your internal trades.
- Once the scaffold is down, the next waste bag will be placed closer to the front entry to encourage the trades to use it (depending on Hiab access).
If your Gyprockers aren’t removing their own waste, we can supply a Gyprock waste bag for an additional charge.
- We'll set up the Gyprock bag at the supervisor's request.
- If possible, the Gyprock waste bag will be placed in front of the garage for easy access, encouraging the Gyprockers to use it.
- If requested, we can also set up a "cardboard only" bag in the garage for flat-packed cardboard.
The Final Clean is scheduled when the house is ready to be handed over to the landscaper, or when the keys are handed to the owner.
- We'll perform a quick "Emu pick" around the site.
- Once we have full access, we'll tidy up the front yard with a bobcat and operator.
- We can arrange to set up an additional waste bag on request, and we’ll confirm where it should be placed.
- If needed, waste bags can be placed on the driveway for the last of the internal trades.

Still have questions?
Do you handle hazardous material?
No.
What materials can be recycled?
What do you do with the materials?
Our goal is to recycle and repurpose as much of the waste we collect as possible. Any waste that cannot be recycled or repurposed will be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner, in compliance with all relevant regulations.
How do you ensure the safety of your employees and clients on job sites?
Safety is a top priority for us. We know a clean site is a safe site which is why we provide cleaning at each stage of the build. Additionally, we invest in equipment and training for our employees to ensure that every job site is safe for our employees, customers, and the environment.
Do you provide any resources regarding sustainability and waste reduction?
Absolutely! We believe that education is key to promoting sustainability. Please visit the blog section of our site to find our resources.
Do you offer customizable waste management plans for different sizes / scope?
We understand that every project is unique, and we offer customisable waste management plans to meet the specific needs of each project. Whether you need help with a standard build or a large-scale development, we’ve got you covered.
Why do I need my site cleaned throughout the process?
By cleaning your site over the duration of the build we are able to manage excess materials effectively. Less material laying around also reduces the risk your employee trips over a rogue brick or finds a lone nail sticking out of them.
What area do you service?
We currently service Greater Sydney, Hunter and ACT.
We’ve sorted out construction waste for builders and developers all over Australia.

Construction sites generate a significant amount of waste, from scrap materials to packaging and everything in between. Properly disposing of this waste is crucial for reducing waste and improving sustainability for the construction industry.
Smart construction sites use innovative solutions to improve the efficiency, safety and sustainability of the construction site. A smart construction site uses the latest technology and processes to streamline costs, improve the organisation and safety of the site in a way that is sustainable from an economic and environmental perspective.
Construction sites are inherently dangerous places to work. From heavy machinery to sharp tools, there is a high potential for serious injuries to occur if safety is not a top priority. One important aspect of improving safety for trades on construction sites is to maintain a clean, hazard-free environment.
