Recycling of Construction Waste

In most cities where construction is taking place Construction Waste is being dumped here there and everywhere which makes most of cities dirty. There is need of recycling of these construction waste. There is technology for conversion of construction waste into bricks. In each city either the Municipal Corporation/Municipality may set up units for conversion of construction waste into bricks. These manufacturing/conversion units may be set up by Municipal authorities or by Private parties. An economic model may be framed which pays to contractors dealing in such waste at a reasonable rate and the manufacturing unit sells the bricks to builders and people constructing houses and buildings at a price which covers the manufacturing cost and some profit. Waste handling persons/contractors will be willing to sell construction waste to these brick manufacturing units as in any case they dump these waste at the nearest vacant space for which they are paid only the carriage cost but nothing for the construction waste. Payment for construction waste will make a positive gain for them and good economy for everyone. Simultaneously Municipal authorities must impose stiff penalty for dumping of construction waste. These measures will make cities clean. more

There is technology to add carbon dioxide into waste to transform in to concrete materials called Accelerated carbonation Technology. more  
Very Good idea! But who is to implement? Whether our elected representatives will have time to look into such innovative ideas? more  
Government must take strict legal action against illegal dumping and punish the builder/construction company with heavy fine immediately. more  
There are already rules framed by government regarding disposal of construction waste in 2016. There is no reported compliance if these rules from anywhere.All construction waste can not be converted into bricks. In fact, all waste can not be recycled also. The suggestion is good and should find applicability wherever possible. more  
Yes malba from construction site comprising of brick bats, concrete-mortar and dust is recyclable. Why only recycled into bricks but this can also be crushed finely to replace sand in concrete. The aim should be to reduce the mining of river sand a stones and quarried stones for crushing. Not only this but some of the town garbage can also be recycled into construction material as densely compacted bricks and powdered fillers for concreting ( Fly Ash from thermal power plants are a perfect for concreting and converting into bricks). The use of reinforced concrete maybe restricted to only foundation and columns and roof slabs but the walls and roofing can be made by the use of many other recycled construction material. Use of mortar and plaster of sand and cement can be considerably reduced by making special inter lockable bricks and lighter resin bond wood particle boards -ply boards-laminates - wall papers -tiles etc. more  
I find your inputs very useful. Can you put down all your suggestions in a brief paper and then I will try to send the same to Urban Devopment Minister as our suggestion for implementation more
