Construction and demolition waste rules in Spain: who is responsible for what
Producer, possessor, authorised manager: who carries which duty for demolition rubble in Spain, and which papers prove it was handled correctly.
Practical, technical guides for owners, developers and investors planning the demolition of a warehouse, a concrete structure or an industrial site in the province of Málaga.
These guides explain how industrial and machine demolition works in practice and which rules apply to it in Spain and Andalusia. They answer the questions that come up before a job starts: how a warehouse is demolished and in what order, how to remove foundations, how reinforced concrete is broken, when crushing on site makes sense, and how to dispose of rubble in Spain without trouble at the end of the works.
Three guides deal with waste: who is responsible for construction and demolition waste, which EWC/LER codes apply to each fraction, and when Andalusian town halls ask for a waste deposit. Others cover the machines and techniques, and how dust and vibration are kept under control. Where a permit is involved, for example to demolish a warehouse or remove foundations, the guides state what the law says and where your técnico or the ayuntamiento has to confirm the details.
Each guide links to the matching service, so you can move from the explanation to what we actually do on site.
