RECYCLING
Construction and Demolition Waste

Builders, contractors, architects and engineers can all work together to reduce the amount of waste produced by construction and demolition. By keeping the Zero Waste mentality in mind during planning, projects can generate smaller amounts of waste and increase the amount of materials that can be recycled.

Visit the Construction and Demolition Materials page to learn how you can recycle C&D materials.
Green Building

Building "green" is also part of a Zero Waste mentality. Buildings have the potential to generate a lot of waste through construction and demolition (C&D) materials, which can be diverted from the landfill. The City of Irvine Environmental Programs offers a comprehensive Green Building Program, which promotes environmentally sensitive, energy conscious and healthier developments. Visit the Build Green section of the website to find out more.
