Another of those inevitable expenses involved in demolition work is disposing of the waste. Now that the demolition is complete we have to get rid of all the waste. There is a lot of brick and concrete rubble and some general waste like carpets and other rubbish. The costs are not insignificant, a large skip for the general waste costs £135 (maybe 1.5Tons or £90/Ton) and the rubble costs £144 a lorry load (about 13 tons). But the metals make you money, disposing of the mesh from the rendering made us £30. The video show that it took 5 lorry loads to clear the rubble (£720! For about 60 Tons or £12/Ton). All those are cheap compared to disposing of the Asbestos cement panels from the house which cost £1037 for just 3.3 Tons (£315/Ton)! So all in all waste disposal has cost us 1037+720+135-30=£1862.
