Why Aren't These Items Collected Curbside?
Construction and demolition debris require a specific C&D landfill. A C&D landfill receives construction and demolition debris, which typically consists of roadwork material, excavated material, demolition waste, construction/renovation waste, and site clearance waste. C&D landfills do not receive hazardous waste or industrial solid waste, unless those landfills meet certain standards and are permitted to receive such wastes
Reducing and recycling C&D materials conserves landfill space, reduces the environmental impact of producing new materials, creates jobs, and can reduce overall building project expenses through avoided purchase/disposal costs.
