| Summary: | Construction waste is considered a major contributor of solid wastes in municipal landfills and usually accounts for 10-30% of the total waste disposed of at landfill sites in many cities around the world. Many researchers have stated that 75% of wastes generated by construction industries have residual value. They can be recycled, salvaged, and reused.
