Demolition waste is waste debris from destruction of buildings, roads, bridges, or other structures.[1] Debris varies in composition, but the major components, by weight, in the US include concrete, wood products, asphalt shingles, brick and clay tile, steel, and drywall.[2] There is the potential to recycle many elements of demolition waste.[1]
