Road to ruins: Refuse reused at building sites By Sheila Muto, Wall Street Journal
Rubble recycling is getting a big shove from state and municipal governments enacting laws aimed at reducing the amount of waste going to landfills, specifically debris from construction and demolition projects, among the biggest sources of solid waste. Massachusetts is moving toward banning construction and demolition debris, including asphalt, brick, concrete, metal and wood, from its landfills. Florida legislators have been considering taking action aimed at increasing the recycling of construction material and waste.
