Why Recycle Construction and Demolition Debris?

Reuse and recycling of Construction and Demolition materials is a key component of sustainable or green building construction. The efficient use of resources is a fundamental principal of green building construction. This means reducing, reusing and recycling most if not all material that remain after a construction or renovation project. Many of these materials can be reused or recycled, thus prolonging our supply of natural resources and potentially saving money in the process. In addition, diversion of C&D materials from the landfill is required by the California Green Building Code.

How Do I Start?There are many ways to recycle and reduce waste on your job site. The following are some basic recommendations:

Plan Ahead - Prior to starting your project, contact Burrtec to find out what options will work best for your site. Planning ahead will assist in diverting as much material as possible and as cost effectively as possible.

Source Separation - Have one container on your site for one specific kind of material, such as wood, concrete, asphalt, cardboard, landscaping or metal.

Mixed Recycling Containers - The mixed recycling method is ideal for projects with space limitations or projects generating a large amount of varied materials at once.

Reuse or Donations - Depending on the characteristics of your project, you may have the opportunity to reuse or donate items.

• Wood (tree trimmings, construction/demo wood, palm, cabinets, furniture)

• Mixed C&D

• Inerts (concrete, brick, gravel)

• Asphalt based – composite roofing

• Metal

• Cardboard

• Injection molded plastic

• Gypsum wall board

• Carpet and pad

How Burrtec Will HelpBurrtec’s C&D program assists in meeting State regulations that require construction and demolition projects to divert 65% of C&D materials from local landfills. The program also helps to comply with local ordinance requirements, LEED certification and CalGreen building standards. Burrtec provides temporary and permanent roll-off services for Construction and Demolition projects. For all projects which have on-site source-separation, Burrtec will haul materials to the appropriate permitted disposal sites, transfer station, and/or C&D processing facility. At the completion of the project, for all materials hauled by Burrtec, a disposal and diversion report can be provided upon customer request showing tonnage amounts for materials disposed and for materials recycled. If you require a diversion report for your project, please advise our Customer Service Representative at the time of order. For further assistance, contact our Customer Service office.
