New Approach for Using C&D Waste

C. Mathi Raja, V. A. Shanmugavelu, P. Lenin

Abstract :

Concern over construction and demolition (C&D) waste is becoming a prevalent part of any construction project. Historically, landfilling waste materials was the standard solution for most contractors, but as tipping fees have risen dramatically over the past five to seven years, many contractors are looking for alternative methods such as recycling or waste minimization, to reduce waste. C & D waste proposes to address the problem of assessing waste disposal techniques efficiently and economically. A ief history of C&D waste is provided to understand how and why costs associated with waste materials have risen over the last several years. Current waste management resources are disccussed to demonstrate the availability of alternative disposal methods. An overall waste management plan is developed to provide a contractor with a step by step flow chart for analyzing material wastes, quantitatively assessing all cost associated with waste disposal, and implementing and updating the chosen waste management technqiues.
