This guide provides good practice advice to maximise recovery rates for all types of waste materials from construction and demolition (C&D) sites.
The aim is to assist the resource recovery industry to provide collection and transportation services that:
- maximise the amount of C&D waste material diverted from landfill and cleanfill waste stream
- minimise contamination and damage of the material
- meet the requirements of both the construction or demolition client and the recycling operator.
This guideline covers:
- finding good markets for C&D waste
- collection and transportation services
- residual waste disposal
- health and safety hurdles
- a word on licensing
- resources and contacts
