Reducing waste means not only to reduce the volume of waste that goes to the landfills, but it also means decreasing the amount of dangerous chemicals that seep into the soil and pollute the air due to improper waste disposal. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive overview of current methods for reusing and recycling construction and demolition (C&D) waste materials. Construction and demolition practices are also examined along with policies and legislation influencing C&D waste management. This thesis examines many of the waste materials produced by the Industrial, Commercial & Institutional sector. A particular effort was made to describe C&D waste recycling methods which are not widely practiced. 1. INTRODUCTION 1. Financial Income – There is money in recycling. In the level of the individual, one of the benefits of recycling is financial income. There are a lot of things lying around the house that we no longer want or need that might just end up in a dumpsite somewhere, that we can recycle and earn money from. Cell phones, PDAs, ink cartridges, etc. There is also the financial benefit for the communities who recycle in that there will be reduced costs of waste disposal or recycling. Consider these recycling facts: aluminum cans are the most valuable item in your bin. Aluminum can recycling helps fund the entire curbside collection. It’s the only packaging material that more than covers the cost of collection and reprocessing for itself. 2. Recycling helps conserve limited resources – Throwing away a single aluminum can, versus recycling it, is like pouring out six ounces of gasoline. Last year, Americans recycled enough aluminum cans to conserve the energy equivalent of more than15 million barrels of oil.
