These waste materials has more usefulness. But nobody can care about it. Some time it is highly useful for land filling in the waste area. In this respect some times it may affect the water ways. The sea erosion may also avoided by dumping the waste in the sea area more

construction & demolition material is itself devided in to two parts.... A. Demolitian material is mostly can be used for recycling purpose i.e. steel can be recycled, usually it is recycled through the scrap dealers, other concrete material can be used as a raw material for the cement based products. (Developer/owner are free to sell it to the Scrap dealers who must be impanelled) B. Construction material is mostly the wastage or mixed material which can be used as the filling material for buildings or low lying lands... The handling of the material should be done in a proper way...like 1. Contractors should be appointed, impanelled & Lisence should be issued to the contractors for handling the material. 2. Owners should contact the contractor... 3. Charges to be framed by the Municipal Carporations or Municipalties...on per Cubic meter basis.. 4. 90 % of the payment shall be bourned by the Developer/owner...rest 10 % shall be bourned by the Authority...(on chaque payment by the Developer/owners) 5. Contractor/ Handler shall dump the material under the instructions of the local Municipal Engineer... 6. Transporter / Handler are free to sell the Material in the Private market...( no payment shall be made by the municipal authority if the material is sold in the market.. & many more things to frame.....just given the broad concept /idea to deal with the C & D waste... more

Construction and demolition is a phenomena that is quiet natural in every nation, except for the manner it is conducted differs. We need to provide for stringent laws in disposing off wastes and final sanction of approval for building should be accorded only after the requisite cleaning of the area. more
