Energy shortages and the need to conserve natural resources lead the United States to examine its waste streams as sources of potential supplies of energy and reconstituted products. While solid waste energy potentials in the private sector are examined in some detail, construction and demolition wastes have not heretofore received comparable study attention. Therefore, the first step in analyzing a reuse program is the development of the size and nature of the particular waste stream. The objective of this report is to determine the nationwide volume of construction and demolition wastes, and, in particular, the combustible fraction of wastes from these activities. Ancillary outputs of this study are annual generation rates by location, information on time variation in waste flows, and the distribution of wood fractions.
