Construction and Demolition Waste Diversion
The City wants to encourage more recycling of construction and demolition waste. City landfills now charge a designated materials rate for commercial customers. This includes concrete, brick and masonry block, asphalt and metal. The City has also launched a construction and demolition waste diversion pilot at Spyhill Landfill to provide recycling opportunities for wood, asphalt shingles, drywall and cardboard.
