Estimating 2003 Building-Related Construction and Demolition Materials Amounts
The purpose of this study is to determine the amount of building-related C&D materials generated and recovered in the U.S. during 2003. The methodology used in this report to estimate the amount of building-related C&D materials generated and recovered in the U.S. during 2003 is based on national statistical data and typical waste generation during building construction, renovation, demolition, or maintenance activities. The recovery estimate relies on 2003 data reported by state environmental agencies.
