Rough Cleaning General Laborer
 
Rough cleaning involves collecting and disposing of all trash, debris and leftover materials without paying attention to detail.
The surrounding grounds are often a mess after construction too, so the rough cleaning general laborer must make sure to remove all debris from both the interior and exterior of the building.

Cleaning up bulky items makes the workspace easier to navigate for workers. They won’t be tripping over chunks of wood or dirt as they bring in cabinetry or windows to install. Instead, they’ll have clean floors that enable them to move forward with the next steps, such as painting the walls or
adding counters.
 
Some construction and demolition waste may be hazardous, and you should not dispose of it down the drain or in regular trash containers. These include leftover paints, varnish, adhesives, and their containers, treated wood, products with mercury, and asbestos-based construction debris. Treat this type of waste as per state or country regulations. Furthermore, ensure to wear suitable PPE during handling. When in doubt, please request more information to immediate supervisor.
