[0] 4 [Description] Using aggressive programs to separate wastes at their sources, the contractors recovered 80% of the waste generated on site. Including site preparation wastes, this amounted to about 20 million pounds of resource material that would normally have been sent as “waste” to landfills. Separate waste hoppers were provided for drywall, metal, cardboard, wood, and other wastes in the buildings, and special crews hauled the hoppers to specially-marked dumpsters. Routine visual checks ensured that recycling haulers would leave the site with uncontaminated loads.
