CTAP Sectors: Construction & Demolition Waste
Construction and demolition (C/D) debris is produced during new construction, renovation, and demolition of buildings and structures. The U.S. produces millions of tons of building related C/D debris each year. Construction and demolition waste is defined in 329 IAC 10-2-37 as solid waste resulting from the construction, remodeling, repair, or demolition of structures. Examples include scrap lumber, bricks, concrete, stone, glass, wallboard, roofing, and plumbing fixtures, wiring, and nonasbestos insulation. C/D wastes must be disposed of at a state permitted solid waste management facility [PDF]. Also, there are other licensing and permitting requirements that pertain to other activities and types of wastes.
