1) Only
eight states reported recovery and disposal amounts 2003, representing
approximately 21% of the US population. 2) State definitions vary regarding
what constitutes C&D materials. Some states may include concrete, asphalt
pavement, and metals from non-building sources. 3) Recovered materials may
include those used for purposes that do not meet state definitions for
recycling, such as landfill cover and energy generation. |
