To celebrate National Recycling Week, here are four ways common household waste items from building works can be repurposed in your next DIY project.

Green Home Improvement Ideas

Green Home Improvement Ideas

Green homes are shifting away from the “alternative” way of thinking into the mainstream way of building. The reason behind this is quite simple: more and more people are realizing the potential green homes have.

Construction waste management and disposal

According to the ABS, construction and demolition waste may account for a staggering 40% of what ends up in landfills - with about 80% of that being bricks and concrete*.

Reusing building materials is often a good idea, not only because it's generally a very environmentally friendly thing to do, but also because you can save a pile of money and with a little creativity, achieve unique looks and styles.
