FORCE 5 (QLD NSW) PTY LTD
Welcome to the future of recycling. Reusing the
things we once called waste is the smart way to
do business and it has just gotten easier with
the expansion of Force 5 into Queensland and NSW.
Force 5 uses Packer 750 Grinders, the Packer
750 Grinder offers a viable alternative to
traditional land filling. Grinding and on-site
reuse of wood, plasterboard, and inert materials
such as roofing concrete and terracotta tiles,
block, and brick is proving the way to go. Force
5 (Qld NSW) will be a key part of your waste
management plan along with helping your company
to implement techniques to reduce the amount of
material being generated and techniques to reuse
material on site.
Force 5 (Qld NSW) uses the Packer 750, which
is a self-contained, mobile, low-speed grinder
that can handle wood, plasterboard, block, brick,
and concrete and terracotta roofing tiles,
turning them from costly waste to cost-effective
site resources, such as mulch or erosion control
material, soil amendment, and road base.

WHY CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT?

• Source OIKOS.com/library/waste
• No one enjoys throwing materials away. But with
  all of the aspects of home building that require
  management today, why do we need to add waste?
  Construction waste management can enhance a
  builder's operation, as well as the image of the
  entire home building industry.
• Cost - Even though your disposal costs represent
  only about 0.5 percent of a home's total
  construction costs, consider that waste
  management costs could represent as much as five
  percent of your profit on a home. Waste reduction
  can reduce your material purchases recycling can
  reduce your total disposal costs.
• Efficiency - You pay twice for materials wasted
  on your jobs sites -- once for the original
  purchase and again when the usable material is
  hauled off for disposal. It's not difficult to
  find useful building materials "hidden" within
  the six-foot-high sides of site dumpsters.
• Resource Conservation - Roughly 80 percent of a
  home builder's waste stream is recyclable. Home
  builders can do their part to conserve natural
  resources and landfill space by looking at their
  waste stream and seeing resources instead of
  refuse.
• Liability - The general contractor bears some
  responsibility for any waste generated at
  jobsites. It is important that you protect your
  company from any potential liability resulting
  from unauthorized or illegal disposal of wastes,
  particularly potentially hazardous wastes.
• Marketing - Builders who make the effort to build
  resource efficient homes should take credit for
  their work. Distinction in the marketplace can
  lead to positive press and home sales.

SOME FACTS AT A GLANCE

• Cost of construction site clean up for 200,000
  new home starts in Australia in 2005 will be in
  excess of 300 million.
• Victorian new starts of 55,000 will total 80
  million in clean up costs.
• Force 5 (Qld NSW) will service 5,000 home sites
  in Melbourne in its first year.
• Savings generated by builders will be in excess
  of 1.5 million in the first year.
• Tipping fees in Melbourne are approximately
  24.00 per tonne/cubic metre. In Brisbane this
  increases to 78.50 per tonne, in Sydney this
  escalates to 90.00.
• The Packer 750 Grinder can process one cubic
  metre of material in less than three minutes.
• American new home construction sites generate 10
  times more waste than Australian sites.
• The Force 5 (Qld NSW) clean-up process requires
  a crew of two or three to operate the Packer 750
  Grinder, a Bobcat and tip-truck.
• Construction and demolition waste accounted for
  2.2 million tonnes or 40 per cent of the 5.5
  million tonnes of waste that went to landfill in
  Melbourne in 2002-2003.
• 55,000 separate home starts generate over 1.2
  million tonnes of landfill annually.
• Force5 can reduce the overall waste going to
  landfill by up to 20 per cent.

PRICING, MARKETING ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS

• Builders benefit by saving money directly on
  crushed rock, plasterboard removal and work cover
  insurance. Indirectly, builders benefit from the
  marketing benefits of attractive, orderly sites
  and an environmentally aware corporate culture.
• 25 of Australias landfill is comprised of waste
  from residential construction sites. Force 5 (Qld
  NSW) recycles in excess of 95 of the waste
  coming off a typical residential construction
  site. Our systems almost completely eliminate
  waste to landfill and help the environment.
• Victorias zero landfill policy, in conjunction
  with fewer tips, has resulted in an escalation in
  tip fees over the last few years that will
  inevitably continue.
• Force 5 (Qld NSW) has virtually no reliance on
  tip fees and can accordingly sign long term
  contracts with builders. By fixing waste disposal
  costs, Force 5 (Qld NSW) can help builders gain
  control over escalating waste costs.
• By recycling the majority of waste on site and at
  our facilities, Force 5 (Qld NSW) has reduced
  site clean travel time by up to 50. This means
  less fuel consumption and a significant reduction
  in emissions.

THE CLEAN-UP CYCLE
FORCE 5 ON SITE FROM THE BEGINNING

• The logistics involved in the Force 5 site
  clean-up process have been designed to cause
  minimal disruption to construction and the site
  more efficient and manageable.
• Force 5 Operations Director, Dave Ancrum says
  there is no difference to working on one site or
  one hundred sites.
• The procedure is the same. The timing,
  logistics and coordination of our involvement are
  crucial to ensuring that everything runs
  smoothly, he says.
• Two recycling runs will be performed on a single
  storey house and three, if necessary, on a
  double-storey house.
• Our people are time-management efficient and
  they understand the importance of meeting
  deadlines as planned, he adds.
• Force 5 becomes involved at the very beginning by
  staking out two specific areas on site for
  construction waste.
• In consultation with the builder, we identify
  and stake out an area to be earmarked for bricks
  and tiles and another for timber off-cuts and
  plasterboard.

CLEAN UP CYCLE
FORCE 5 ON SITE FROM THE BEGINNING

• General windblown waste such as packaging and
  food waste is consigned to a locked 3.0 cubic
  metre bin that will be emptied when necessary by
  a compactor truck. Where bins are not viable,
  traditional cages will be utilised and emptied by
  the site cleaner, Ancrum says.
• We then deploy a mix of crushed bricks and tiles
  as a pathway for construction vehicles to access
  the site which also doubles as an aggregate
  foundation for when the final driveway is
  constructed, he adds.
• This temporary driveway reduces the chances of
  mud and dirt being carried on to roadways by
  construction vehicles.
• At lock-up stage timber and plasterboard carpet
  mulch can be laid around the base of the house to
  reduce the potential of workers slipping over in
  wet conditions.
• This carpet mulch controls erosion and provides
  the added benefit of fertilising the soil as the
  main component of plasterboard is gypsum that
  contains nutrients such as calcium.
• On the final visit the Packer 750 is brought on
  site to grind the stockpile of staked material,
  which the crew then spreads over the site leaving
  the surrounds neat and tidy ready for landscaping.

Rubbish Sorting
When you have large containers on site the waste
created tends to be greater because it is out of
sight out of mind. Many Builders find that they
have a lot of drive by contamination
Force 5 (Qld NSW) Pty Ltd. helps Builders and
sub-contractors work effectively without
containers. Many times this automatically reduces
the amount of waste produced.  Your customers are
not looking at the product you create they are
looking at the waste you generate.

Plasterboard Timber waste
Wood waste ground into mulch can be used in a
variety of ways on a construction site

• Erosion control material for disturbed areas-
  Mulch berms to aid silt fencing in
• erosion control
• - Protecting Tree Root Zones - Road and walkway
  stabilization for crews- Landscaping

The main component of plasterboard is gypsum. 
Gypsum has been used as a soil amendment for over
200 years. 
It will actually add needed nutrients to the
soil  such as calcium and sulphur yet, does not
raise the PH of the soil.  The USDA has called
this material a resource that can be used to help
establish the lawn around the new home.

SERVICES

• Force 5 (Qld NSW)Pty Ltd has mobile processing
  units that will enable us to recycle all brick
  bats, broken roof tile, non- reinforced concrete
  and timber off-cuts ON SITE.
• A slab clean is performed immediately after the
  slab is poured. During this the rebates are
  backfilled with soil to ensure OHS and
  Certificate of Occupancy requirements are met.
• Two Recycling runs are performed on a single
  storey house and three, if required, on a double
  storey house. This new system means that no
  construction waste goes to landfill, saving on
  tipping and transport costs.
• Brick, roof tile and concrete is processed into
  an aggregate / crushed rock that is ideal for
  contractor access paths to site. This is
  redeployed to the nearest starting site.
• Timber off cuts are processed into a mulch which
  is beneficial for the soil, helping to stop
  erosion and reduce water usage. The mulch is
  deployed on the originating site. Plasterboard is
  recycled off site.
• General windblown waste is stored in 1.45m3
  bags attached to a frame that are emptied by our
  trucks as required. The majority of contents are
  recycled.
• Force 5 (Qld NSW) constantly liaises with
  councils and authorities, ensuring that our
  systems conform to the most stringent regulatory
  and OHS requirements.
• Force 5 (Qld NSW) maintains operations in the
  East and West of Melbourne, enabling us to
  service all of your sites throughout Melbourne.
• Force 5 (Qld NSW) can also organise numerous
  EXTRAS, including the following
• Soil removal and deployment
• Silt Barriers
• Rock removal
• Extra Crushed rock / aggregate deployment
• Driveway cuts
• OHS cleans and
• Illegal rubbish dumping removal

KEY POINTS

• Key Points
• Here are some important generalizations about
  residential construction waste.
• By weight or volume, wood, plasterboard and
  cardboard make up between 60 and 80 percent of
  jobsite waste.
• Vinyl and metals are generated in small
  quantities, but have good recycling value.
• Cardboard waste is increasing on most jobsites as
  more components, such as windows, appliances,
  cabinets and cladding, are shipped to builders
  over long distances.
• Most wood waste is "clean" -- unpainted,
  untreated and recyclable. This usually includes
  dimensional lumber, plywood, OSB and particle
  board without laminates.
• Brick, block, concrete terracotta tile waste
  are insignificant in volume, but can be important
  in terms of weight.
• For most builders, the largest share of waste
  that could be considered hazardous is generated
  from painting, sealing, staining and caulking.
• Drive-by contamination (waste placed in a
  container by a party other than the builder or
  subcontractor) can be as much as 30 percent of
  the total volume hauled from a site

Scrap Brick and Block become usable aggregate
that can be used on your job site.

MAJOR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
. Whats happening in Victoria.
Construction waste material will be recycled on
more than 5,000 Melbourne building sites by Force
5 (Qld NSW) Pty Ltd in its first year of
operation Managing Director, Jim Shergold, has
forecast. Shergold says his confidence is
bolstered by an arrangement he has secured with
Porter Davis Homes to process 80 new home start
sites per month or nearly 1,000 a year for this
group alone. He forecasts securing at least
4,000 sites from other major builders once they
become aware of the cost benefits and site
management efficiency of Force 5. Anthony
Roberts, a director of Porter Davis Homes says he
is excited by what Force 5 has to offer. The
fact that it creates a cleaner, safer, workplace
and generates cost-saving benefits makes it an
easy decision to change systems, Roberts
says. The added bonus is the positive
environmental impact it will have on
communities, he adds. Shergold says the biggest
dilemma he is facing is to make sure he stays
ahead of demand and the rate of uptake by
builders. We cannot deny access to regional
Victoria and interstate capital city builders for
too long. The business potential is enormous
which is why expansion is on our short term list.
Whether we open our own interstate offices,
enter into partnerships or look at licensing
agreements are issues we are currently
considering, he says. New home site starts in
Australia this year are currently running at
200,000 of which 55,000 are in Victoria.

MACHINE READY TO REVOLUTIONISEBUILDING SITE
CLEAN UP
How does it work?
A machine that grinds building construction waste
into aggregate and mulch on site is about to
revolutionise existing building site clean-up
processes, generate huge cost savings and provide
a safer workplace environment. Melbourne-based
Force 5 (Qld NSW) Pty Ltd, has expanded into
Queensland and NSW, forming a new company Force 5
(Qld NSW)(QLD NSW) Pty Ltd Force 5 (Qld
NSW) Pty Ltd has imported the machine from Packer
Industries Inc of Georgia, USA that designed and
patented the Packer 750 Grinder. Force 5 (Qld
NSW) Managing Director Jim Shergold, says the
Packer 750 Grinder recycles building waste by
crushing house bricks and roofing tiles into
gravel that is then used as a foundation for
access driveways to building sites. Timber and
plasterboard is ground separately and laid as a
carpet around the base of a building slab to
reduce the potential of workers slipping in wet
conditions and/or acting as a cushion to break
falls. This mulch also helps to control
erosion. Powered by a 123hp Detroit diesel
engine, the machine has interchangeable screens
that can be utilised to reduce material into
whatever size texture is required. It also
features a remote control magnetic head pulley
that removes nails. A covered conveyor to
reduce dust carries processed material from the
feeding hopper into a tip truck. The machine can
grind one cubic metre of material in under three
minutes and is capable of processing more than 90
per cent of traditional construction waste.
Processed material is either taken to the next
site or redeployed on the originating site.

MACHINE READY TO REVOLUTIONISEBUILDING SITE
CLEAN UP CONT.
THE PACKER 750
Apart from producing a cleaner and safer site, a
major benefit is that it eliminates tipping and
unnecessary transport costs which Shergold
estimates to be anywhere between 350 and 750
per housing site. A domestic home building site
can generate over 20 cubic metres of construction
waste during the construction period that is
currently taken to a tip for landfill. The
savings to the builder are substantial when you
take into account that tipping fees and
plasterboard removal costs are eliminated, less
crushed rock is purchased, truck operating
expenses are lower and insurance premiums are
reduced. Our process is quite revolutionary when
you think about it because we are breaking with
tradition in favour of safety, efficiency and
economics, he says. Shergold says building sites
will literally take on a new appearance. Sites
will become more neat and tidy and not the
unsightly mess as they are often found. Another
advantage of the process is that having dedicated
waste locations on site shows building workers
where timber off-cuts or broken tiles and bricks
are supposed to be. The by-product is that it
leaves the site orderly and lessens the chances
of workers being injured. Some of the waste
generated on site comes from packaging materials
such as cardboard, straps, plastic bubble wrap
and food containers that never seem to be
properly secured and tends to get blown around
creating an unsightly mess. This waste will now
be contained in lockable three cubic metre bins
or cages.

  slab pour but BEFORE the brick and timber has
  been delivered. We will need 1 clear day between
  these days given that you brick and timber
  suppliers will only give you a day of delivery,
  not a time. Therefore the Supervisor is to
  organise at least 1 full day between these
  functions and notify Force 5 of these dates so
  that we can schedule the slab scrap. Any delays
  to the slab pour must be notified immediately to
  allow Force 5 to reschedule.
