Construction & Demolition Debris

Building renovations and construction projects take place on campus year round, increasing significantly during summer months. Renovation and new construction activities create substantial amounts of recyclable debris, including wood, concrete, asphalt, drywall, metal, wire, cardboard, and ceiling tiles.

Contractors at CSULB are required to recycle construction and demolition (C&D) debris as part of their scope of work. In most cases, this is achieved by having the commingled waste hauled to a designated C&D recovery facility, where recovery rates of 80 percent are often achieved.
