What are

Construction & Demolition Materials?

Construction and Demolition (C & D) Materials consist of the debris generated from the construction, renovation, repair, and demolition of all types of building, structures and/or landscaping. C & D materials often contain bulky, heavy materials and are charged at a higher rate than regular household trash.
