This got brought up yesterday on N-24 news and it's an odd consumer story.
The German government is busy designing construction disposal rules. What they are looking at....as you build a house, there's always bulk materials....concrete, bricks, wood left at the end....which typically got put into a fair sized dumpster and sent off to the local landfill. You'd pay some bulk-disposal fee for the dumpster. It's wasn't a ridiculous cost.
Well, now things are going to change over the next couple of years.
Things....even like the dirt or rocks you dig up for the property basement....have to go to a special landfill. The concrete and wood products left? Each will go to a special dump area or re-use area.
Added cost factor? Some experts are beginning to talk about the potential of one single large house being built....with near 80k Euro added for just special dumping/disposal.
Affordability? It's basically flipping a goal for most families of having their own new house out the door, and presenting a rough path for the future of construction in Germany.
Environmentalists at work? To a certain degree...they simply got focused on the bulk products left at the end and figured they could force you into reducing this in some fashion. If you ask me....more and more houses will be built (piece-wise) in some depot-building and delivered to the site with minimal waste products existing for the consumer.
