Construction Waste Recycling
in Virginia
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Virginia joins other states across
the nation with C&D Recycling
• Faced with crowded landfills
Virginia currently rely mostly on Landfill’s and transfer stations for
processing C&D waste
• Mandated recycling rate
• High Construction Costs
• Environmental concerns
(Base on DEQ statistics) Virginia recycles 5% of its C&D waste
C&D Recycling A Growing Market
• Municipalities and States target the bulky material
looking to reduce landfill tonnage and increase recycling
rates.
• Recovery and processing plants are being built in
different regions to offer contractors opportunity to
recycle construction waste.
• However market outlets play an important role for the
Individual commodities.
• Cost: tipping fee versus processing fees determines
whether to recycle the material or landfill.
C&D Recycling A Growing Market
• Private Industry and Municipalities seeks DEQ
permitting for C&D recycling.
• Private Industry and Municipalities plan material
recovery and material marketing.
• Materials recovered from C&D plants need homes of
reuse and recycling that equals landfill reduction and
economic savings.

Fauquier County C&D Waste Recovery Facility
In August, 2007, Fauquier County Environmental Services opened a construction
waste recovery facility as a means to divert valuable reusable materials from the
county landfill. As “green” becomes a red hot subject, Fauquier County supports
owners/builders in the region with a means toward their LEED certification by
recycling their construction waste. Currently, 55% of our incoming
