These are staggering numbers, and unfortunately, most homebuilders fail to consider both the financial and environment impacts when deciding on what building technologies to use. Homebuilders often throw away cut-offs, damaged materials, and often unused/incorrect materials that are left over when the job is complete. We have often seen builders toss entire pallets of pavers, roofing materials, doors, and lumber into the dumpster simply because it was easier than sending it to another job or back to the warehouse. Some builders attempt to recycle; however, it can be difficult to manage the process, or to justify the cost of two separate containers at a job site, or the time it takes to sort the waste.
