Also in the works is a new page on deconstruction and demolition to help contractors working in this industry and municipalities and/or general contractors looking for deconstruction contractors. And, ...

... we have a Connecticut C&D Reuse and Recycling List Serve – NEW! This list is open to professionals and community volunteers working on C&D recycling efforts and is for discussing C&D recycling and recovery challenges and opportunities in Connecticut. CT DEP is sponsoring this discussion list to encourage cross-pollination of ideas, hear new concepts, approaches and technologies, share successes, projects and programs and overall provide each other support in an effort to increase C&D recycling and recovery in Connecticut.
