If your town sees a significant number of building projects each year, you may have the incentive to change your current management practices. This will allow homeowners to deal with items that may be difficult to transport. The town should assure that all material is disposed of at a licensed site. Since most solid waste haulers and landfills charge by the ton, keep the weight of your CDD low . A wet load is heavier and adds to your cost, so keep your loads covered.
Many towns keep their debris in a roll-off container.
Covers are commercially available or can be custom-made to suit individual needs. Mixed loads usually have higher tipping fees than ones that can be more easily recycled. Landfill space is valuable and is best used for materials that have no other reuse or recycling option. HCPC periodically plans a cooperative purchase of CDD related services such as wood-chipping. For example, your transfer station users could be asked to send their asphalt shingles or demolition wood to another site.
