SPECIAL REPORT: Construction & Demolition Debris
As C&D Waste Piles Up, Governments Take Different Paths To Recovery

ISSUE: Volume 13, Number 7-8 July / August 2003

ABSTRACT:

For decades in America, construction and demolition waste was an afterthought-the detritus of progress, dumped in pits not even important enough to warrant environmental protection. But now, with recycling encouraged in all locales and mandated in many, state leaders are taking a hard look at C&D waste-and seeing opportunity. Concrete, asphalt, wood, gypsum, and construction materials-all of these are seeing new life as aggregate, building materials, fuel, and other end markets.
