I need to demolish my chimney, what should I do?

When disposing of a chimney, it's important to sort the materials correctly. Here's what you need to know:

Metal chimneys
Metal chimneys must be returned to a product dealer.

Brick chimneys
Brick chimneys can consist of several different materials:

Isocore: The inner layer of the chimney. This must always be disposed of (delivered to the landfill) as it contains soot.

Bricks: Must be sorted differently depending on:

• If the bricks have soot on them, they should also be deposited.
• Whole and half bricks without soot can be delivered as "Whole Bricks".
  These are cleaned and reused in new buildings.
• Clean rubble without soot and paint is rubble for crushing.
  This type of waste is not cleaned before crushing and therefore the chunks must not be painted.

If in doubt, ask us, either at the recycling centre or at the scales.

Notes:
Larger quantities of landfillable waste require notification and waste declaration.

You can find the waste declarations and instructions on how to complete and submit them as private person and Business by following the links.
