Hello everyone,

Since I’m not sure where to post this topic, I’m placing it in Off-Topic.

Attached are two pictures. My questions are:
-> Can this "tar" go into a construction debris container?
-> Is the red "wool" hazardous waste (and therefore cannot go into a construction debris container)?

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Tim

Tar tar must not be disposed of in the rubble container.

Is that tar or standard screed?
And what about the "wool"?

Hello Tim.
Tar is not and has never been used in residential construction!
What the photos show is a mastic asphalt screed.
The "red wool" you mentioned is most likely the jute backing of a rather old linoleum floor covering.
Both are unproblematic and should definitely not be classified as hazardous waste in terms of pollutant contamination.
However, not every landfill accepts bituminous building materials.
So that would need to be clarified!
