What is the problem?

 03/12/2013

Quantity of Construction Demolition Waste (CDW) produced all day;

Correct disposal for this waste;

Find new places for landfills (the still available are saturated or nearly);

Being a new material is still viewed with suspicion to be in large-scale.

Typical CWD

Material Components Content Examples

Wood Forming and framing lumber, stumps/trees, engineered wood.

Drywall Sheetrock (Wallboard)
Metals Pipes, rebar, flashing, wiring, framing
Plastics Vinyl siding, doors, windows, flooring, pipes, packaging
Roofing Asphalt, wood, slate, and tile shingles, roofing felt
Masonry Cinder blocks, brick, masonry cement
Glass Windows, mirrors, lights
Miscellaneous Carpeting, fixtures, insulation, ceramic tile
Cardboard From newly installed items such as appliances and tile

Concrete Foundations, driveways, sidewalks, floors, road surfaces (all concrete containing Portland cement

Asphalt Pavement Sidewalks and road structures made with asphalt binder
