Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling
Construction and demolition (C&D) projects create an enormous amount of trash that typically is landfilled. But now it doesn't have to. Many facilities are now sorting construction and demolition waste by waste type to create a recyclable commodity and minimize the volume going to C&D landfills. The materials removed from the waste stream vary by market and site, but typically include cardboard, metals, wood, and aggregate materials such as concrete and shingles. Some facilities also sort out the drywall and plastics for recycling. These facilities utilize both mechanical and manual sorting to ensure the highest recovery rate possible. The recycling rate for an average C&D container is around 80%! This is a fantastic way to reduce tonnage being landfill and give new life to these highly recyclable materials!
