Book excerpt: "Sending construction and demolition (C&D) waste to landfill creates environmental problems for Auckland. Data on Auckland's waste volumes indicate that C&D waste (e.g. rubble, concrete, timber, plasterboard, insulation materials) together account for 40 per cent of all waste sent to landfills (Auckland Council, 2018b)... This is a report on a high-level Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) of two options proposed by Auckland Council's Waste Solutions Unit for C&D waste diversion from landfill. For each proposed option, expenditure is spread across a series of activities that relate to each of the broad areas of focus identified for C&D waste diversion, namely awareness, infrastructure, brokerage, regulatory controls, training, job and business opportunities."--Executive summery.
