Construction financing in a few years

This happened to me when I was clearing out my last apartment and the bulky waste was standing on the street. Even while I was clearing out, "they" – partly with cars – came almost in droves to rummage through the "trash." Some things were taken, even old mattresses. I thought I couldn't believe my eyes.

Hey, that's nasty. I just did the same with my wife last week. Snagged 2 stools and a grandma armchair – would have otherwise ended up in the bulky waste and are now our first pieces of furniture in the house.

But how do we steer back to the original concern of the OP after these excursions?

Then I hope you asked, otherwise it was theft ... ;)

Hey, that's mean.

Maybe everything has been said?

As soon as it is standing on the street, it even belongs to the [Entsorgungsbetrieb]. They should actually be asked, not the one who put it on the street.

As soon as it is placed on the street, it even belongs to the waste disposal company. They should actually be asked, not the person who put it on the street.

We no longer report bulky waste to the waste disposal company unless it is a huge amount.
We put the stuff on the street on the appropriate evening, and a few hours later or at the latest the next morning, it is usually all gone :)

So don’t be mad at me, but unfortunately you don’t know much.

Usually, roof tiles are just thrown on a trailer to break them. There is no better material for filling potholes on field paths. That’s why every farmer gladly takes them and will even provide a trailer for free.

That only applies if you have a farmer nearby who currently needs them. With us, you can forget about that. Unfortunately, it’s the same with my cousin. He would have to go through a container. Well, it’s half as bad. But he doesn’t make any money with them. And he has a lot of contact with the surrounding farmers. The authorities put a stop to that. They are no longer allowed to fill with that because it is not a certified material.

Old beams are currently in higher demand than ever! You can even get money for them. And if not, use a chainsaw and make firewood.

Only if they are still somewhat intact and free of little critters. Otherwise, the money hardly justifies the effort. Railroad ties, on the other hand, go really well.

A solid mini excavator is absolutely sufficient to demolish an old single-family house. It certainly takes a bit longer, but no one needs to operate a 30-ton tracked excavator for that. I am hearing for the first time that a professional company is required or that the police care about it. That’s nonsense.

In Hesse, you are not allowed to do it yourself. My cousin was not allowed in Rostock either (it was about grandma’s bungalow). We were also considering demolishing a very old building on our property. We also would have had to hire a company. We got 3 cost estimates... :eek:

For asbestos, you get the bags and put it in there. The cubic meter costs about 200 euros. That’s not particularly expensive.

As soon as you have to use a company, there is a nasty surcharge. And you should always handle asbestos with care. Try cutting asbestos panels (I experienced it as a child o_O). The dust caused me breathing problems for weeks until the doctor helped.

Fired bricks with imperial measurements sell like hotcakes. Leaving them in the rain for a few days washes off the roughest dust and mortar by itself. There was very little cement back in the day.

Only if you can still get them down intact. That’s not always the case with a house worth demolishing. Thanks to my grandparents, I’ve had to remove some roofs in the neighborhood. Maybe 40% came down intact. Everything else broke at the latest during transport.

Metal scrap, no matter the type, can currently also be sold at top prices. You don’t need connections for that. The scrap dealer comes with the truck and even loads it himself.

That varies a lot regionally. Nothing moves here. Metal dealers only come starting from larger quantities. Before that, you also have to pay for the trip. For my cousin, it would work really well. Everything you put on the roadside goes away immediately. Around here, top furniture stands in the rain for weeks until the disposal takes pity on it.

Wrong again. You should not burn railroad ties, they are soaked with special oil so they don't foul. They are oak, but unhealthy.
