Brian & Simon are joined by Mick Limb from Michael Limb Builders and we explore Construction Waste.

How can we reuse the 20 Million tonnes of waste the Australian construction industry produces.

We work through the demolition of an existing home, and breakdown what can and can't be Recycled or Upcycled.

How large manufacturers can help reduce waste.
