Non-routine waste

Non-routine waste is primarily demolition and construction waste and includes hazardous and non-hazardous waste from site demolition and construction activities and from small on-site remediation projects. In 2004, we disposed (via landfill or incineration) of 6.6 million kg of non-routine waste, and recycled 6.8 million kg.
