Abstract :

Introduction: Construction and demolition wastes make considerable part of the municipal solidwastes. Construction industry uses large amounts of the natural resources and produces massivequantities of construction and demolition wastes. Thus construction and demolition wastesmanagement is one of the prime concerns especially in developing countries. Construction anddemolition wastes management requires knowledge of ways of collection, recycling, and disposal ofconstruction and demolition wastes. This study was conducted to evaluate collection system,recycling, and disposal of construction and demolition wastes of the city of Kerman in 1387.Materials and Methods: This work has been a cross-sectional research study .This study wasconducted to evaluate the status of construction and demolition wastes in the city of Kerman. Initially,the required issues and matters were classified based on the research goals. Relevant foreign researchpapers and experiences of countries in the area of management and recycling of this type of wasteswere reviewed. Then, a comprehensive questionnaire was designed and compiled.Result and Discussion: In Kerman 2400 tons construction and demolition wastes are generated daily,that is, 0.005kg/capital-day. The sources of the construction and demolition wastes in Kerman areconstruction of residential ,commercial ,industrial buildings ,excavation ,demolition andreconstruction of old buildings ,parks ,squares and curb forming which show a remarkable increaseduring last six years .Of 2400 tons construction and demolition wastes 120 tons (5%) are recycled andthe rest are disposed .The predominant recycled construction and demolition wastes are scrap iron(3%) ,soil (2%) ,brick (1%) ,wood (0.5%) and asphalt (0.5%) .At the present time collection,transportation, and disposal of the wastes are accomplished by public and private section by the meansof 300 auto trips each day .Conventional method of the construction and demolition waste disposal inKerman is stored in places which is safe environmentally, hygienically, and recreationally.Theimplementation of a successful recycling plan demands thorough information regarding quality andquantity of wastes as well as recycling site. Trade market conditions of construction and demolitionwastes are also prime importance. Establishment of a systematic method for collection, transportation1- MSc.
