Solid Waste in Buildings

Most construction, demolition, and land clearing (C&D or CDL)  wastes are classified as Solid Wastes.

  • Examples are garbage, industrial wastes, sewage, and any other wastes that are not products.
  • Usable products such as leftover paint and caulk are not regulated unless they are discarded - even if they contain dangerous materials. Leave them for the property owner to use in future maintenance.
