contractors generate 115 million tons of waste annually May 2 -- Demolition contractors generate about 115 million tons of waste each year in the United States, according to a new study for the National Demolition Association. The study, which does not include debris from road and bridge projects, was conducted by Gershman, Brickner & Bratton Inc., a waste management consulting firm based in Fairfax, Va. Association members from more than 40 states took part in the survey. The survey, which uses 2004 data, also indicates that an estimated 73 percent of the material is either reused or recycled by the industry, GBB said.
