Construction waste is a very big problem of today's society. Large quantities, illegal landfills, insufficient education, environmental pollution are just some of the reasons that make construction waste a third of the waste produced annually in the world. There are buildings that are used for waste management. Management influences the reduction of waste quantities, prevention of its generation, transportation and similar procedures that try to reduce the impact of waste on the environment itself, and thus the direct impact on humans. These buildings are: a transfer station, a recycling yard, and a construction waste landfill. This paper describes each one separately, and highlights some of their advantages and disadvantages. Their comparison is also given and what would be the most efficient way of use considering the geographical location and the amount of waste. Also, examples are given mostly from the Republic of Croatia, and some of them were compared with examples from around the world in order to get a general picture of the comparison of the development of certain countries in terms of construction waste management.
