What is Clean Construction Demolition Debris (CCDD)?
CCDD is uncontaminated broken concrete, bricks, rock, stone, or reclaimed asphalt pavement produced from construction or demolition activities. In addition, when uncontaminated soil is combined with any of these materials, the uncontaminated soil is also considered CCDD. CCDD disposal manages costs by ensuring that “clean” materials are not sent to municipal or hazardous waste landfills designed to accept contaminated wastes. Clean Construction or Demolition Debris facilities offer construction companies, municipalities, and developers the chance to avoid unnecessary disposal costs by segregating these types of loads from the solid waste stream that would otherwise be sent to a landfill. Typical CCDD loads that are accepted at the site include soil, stones, rocks, aggregate, asphalt grindings, clean concrete, broken asphalt and/or clean brick. By choosing to recycle these materials, you are not only acting as an environmental steward, you will also find that it will save you a considerable amount of money when comparing disposal rates to those of a municipal or hazardous waste landfill facility. In order to assure that all of the accepted CCDD loads are clean and free of contaminants, each and every load that enters the site is properly inspected and tested prior to acceptance. |
