Construction and Demolition Debris

Construction and demolition debris (abbreviated as C&DD) is waste material that results from the construction or demolition of buildings. It includes items such as lumber, plaster, brick and roofing shingles. It does not include hazardous waste, asbestos, furniture and appliances, or trash and garbage, which must be disposed of separately.

C&DD must be disposed of in a facility licensed and inspected by Public Health or the Ohio EPA.

Clean hard fill consists of concrete, asphalt, brick, block, tile and stone which is free of other types of waste.

No. If it is free of other waste, it does not need to go to a licensed facility. However, many C&DD facilities have a separate area designated for clean hard fill disposal or recycling.

Probably. Concrete and other clean hard fill may be brought onto a site to raise the grade if certain standards are followed. The filling operation cannot create a public health nuisance, violate wetlands and floodplain laws or local zoning codes. Public Health must be notified in writing prior to the start of filling.
