Construction waste is one of largest waste streams in U.S. It takes up 25%- 45% waste in national landfill.

According to national Association of home builders study (NAHB), 8000lbs of waste are typically thrown into the landfill during the construction of a 2000 square ft house.

8000lb of waste can take up 50 cubic yards of space in landfill. It is about the size of bedroom.

It is about 130 million tons building construction waste per year. 10% from new construction waste, 40% from renovation, and 50% from demolition.

Source separation Vs. Commingled Recycling

Recycle Method Advantages Disadvantages

Source Separation

Higher recycling rates Lower costs; revenues paid for some material Often a cleaner, safer work site

Multiple containers on site Workers must separate materials for recycling More complex logistics Multiple markets; more information to manage

Commingled Recycling

Only one or two containers on site No need for workers to separate materials for recycling Easier logistics One markets; less information to manage

Lower recycling rates Higher recycling costs

Waste management Plan

Estimate type and quantities of C&D waste generated during each phase of the job

Identify how each waste will be managed and market

Provide an estimate of overall job recycling rate

Lay out plans for training, meetings and other communications related to job-site waste management

Provide troubleshooting instruction and contact information

Case study I

• Project: 137,000 sft new construction plus 6,800 sft renovation and addition; rural location; public owner

• Total Waste Reduction: 57% (444 tons recycled, 338 tons disposed)

• Cost Savings: $31,812, or 66% • Project Description: Consigli Construction Inc. was

the lead contractor for the Douglas School project. The brick structure is located on a wooded hillside in a rural area. While a small portion of Consigli’s work on the project was renovation and addition, most of the project consisted of construction of a new high school -- a two-story building designed for 700 students, grades 7-12.
