Gone with the windrow

Article Abstract:

Hurricane Andrew's damage to southern Florida and Louisiana contributed a large volume of construction and demolition debris (C&D) to the waste stream. The country's landfills already contain a big bulk of C&D waste. Many states do not realize the potential of C&D waste as recycable building materials. North Carolina, for instance, utilized 1,500 tons of recycled products in constructing a two mile strip of highway. Arizona used recycled tires to construct asphalt highways. The construction industry can help reduce the waste stream if it considers recycling of C&D waste.

The forums were attended by local and foreign industry experts who talked about ways of maintaining the city's success in recycling and composting while enhancing waste recovery levels and providing cost-effective services. Seattle is in a unique position to maximize waste collection efficiency and expand markets for recyclable and compostable materials.
