Construction & Demolition

Construction and demolition (C&D) waste is one of the five priority, non-residential solid waste streams identified by P²AD and DCA during a landfill survey. Therefore, P²AD has tried to quantify, characterize, and develop a plan for reducing and recycling construction and demolition debris in Georgia.

More than 1.9 million tons of C&D were disposed of in C&D landfills in Georgia in FY 1999. There were 32 C&D landfills in Georgia in FY 1999. (Source: Georgia Environmental Protection Division, July 1999.)
