Estimated annual cost (including amortized capital costs) $732,000. Estimated tonnage diverted: 20,200 (see table 3-3). In order to meet the broader goal of 58% reduction in C&D wastes, the Counry would need a construction and demolition waste recycling facility that could handle not only some source- sepazated clean wood and metal but also the rock, dirt and other inert materials. Those materials, combined with wood and metal are 70% of the C&D waste stream delivered to the Orange Regional Landfill. This does not include separated roofing shingles, construction related plastics or other materials for which markets may develop. Table 3-3 below prrsents an estimate of the amount of material recyclable or salvageable from Orange County's construction and demolition waste stream based on table 1-2, This estimate does not include 30% of the wasu thaz is estimated to be larger inert debris (concrete, block, brick, asphalt, file and ceramics). It does not include the 4% of the waste estimated to be drywall mixed with construction wastes. If those two materials are included, the total percent recyclable would rise to 70% of the waste stream. Those two materials could be included if markets for dirt and inert debris improved 3-11
