Construction Debris
Residents and businesses can dispose of construction and demolition debris at local private facilities.
Construction and demolition debris (C&DD) is defined as materials resulting from the alteration, construction, destruction, rehabilitation, or repair of any physical structure. C&DD materials include lumber, drywall, brick concrete, metals, plaster, windows, roofing material, plumbing fixtures, electrical wiring, heating equipment, asphalt, and insulation.
Do not place construction and demolition debris in your recycling cart or bin.
Construction & Demolition Debris Disposal Facilities
Our agency maintains a list of facilities that accept construction debris for recycling and/or disposal.

Railroad Ties
Do not burn treated lumber outdoors or in a fireplace. If you have railroad ties, see the Ohio EPA website for guidance or contact the Ohio EPA Northeast District Office in Twinsburg.
Unwanted treated wood should be disposed of at a local construction and demolition debris (C&DD) landfill, solid waste landfill, or waste transfer station.
Deconstruction
Have you considered deconstruction as an option? Deconstruction is defined as the selective dismantling of a structure for the purpose of salvaging valuable construction and architectural materials to resell, reuse, or recycle. For more information, see our deconstruction page.
