Construction or Demolition Debris 

What is Construction or Demolition Debris

There are two types of Construction or Demolition Debris (CDD) defined in Illinois Law. The first, called General Construction or Demolition Debris includes any of the ​following materials: ​​bricks, concrete and other masonry materials; soil; rock; wood, including non-hazardous painted, treated, and coated wood and wood products (i.e., no wood bearing lead paint); wall coverings; plaster; drywall; plumbing fixtures; non-asbestos insulation; roofing ​shingles and other roof coverings; reclaimed asphalt pavement; glass; plastics that are not sealed in a manner that conceals waste (i.e., no plastic drums containing liquid or other waste); electrical wiring and components containing no hazardous substances (i.e., no transformers or ballasts containing PCBs); and piping or metals incidental to any of those materials.

The second type of CCD is a subset of the first called Clean Construction or Demolition Debris, which can only include broken concrete without protruding metal bars, bricks, rock, stone, reclaimed asphalt pavement, and uncontaminated soil (meeting IEPA standards).​

Responsible Disposal

General CDD - The most environmentally friendly way to dispose of materials from construction, demolition, or remodeling is to take them to a permitted CDD recovery facility, or to rent a roll-off container from a company that hauls to one of these facilities (see local listings below). We recommend that residents and project contractors confirm that the hauler will take the CDD material to a CDD recovery facility, not to a regular MSW transfer or landfill, when the order for a roll-off is placed. Permitted facilities are required by law to make sure that at least 40% of the materials they take in are recycled.

Clean CDD ​- In addition to being accepted at CDD recovery facilities, there are a few more options for disposal of CCDD. It can be taken to Clean Fill operations, which are generally located at active or closed quarries, pits, mines, and other major excavations. See IEPA's webpage on CCDD standards and disposal here. ​

​Waste Minimization via Deconstruction:

Deconstruction is a method of taking down buildings that places high priority on salvaging building materials in reusable condition. While debris from traditional demolition can be recycled, mat​erials are often damaged too much to be reused without significant reprocessing. Do you have a project that could benefit from deconstruction? Blue EarthRecyclean and Square One are companies serving the greater Chicago-area ​that specialize in planning and implementing this process. Both use of salvaged materials and diversion of a high percentage of debris to reuse and recycling earn credits towards LEED green building certification.

If you have salvage material from a building or deconstruction project in good condition to donate, please see our Building Material Re-use page.
