Construction, Renovation and Demolition Sector

With the help of these resources focused specifically on the Construction and Demolition sectors, you can reduce the amount of valuable material going to landfill every year.

It is estimated that almost eleven per cent of Ontario waste going to landfills comes from construction, renovation and demolition (CRD) projects – over 1 million tonnes in 2008. This includes materials such as wood, drywall, cardboard, doors and windows, but excludes materials such as asphalt, concrete, bricks and clean sand or gravel.

Here you'll find all you need to help you get started in the development of your waste audit, waste reduction work plan, and source separation plan, all integral components of a waste management plan.
