ABSTRACT:
A method of recycling construction and demolition debris to produce an article suitable as a daily cover for a landfill is disclosed. The method generally comprises the steps of removing large pieces of metal from the debris, compacting the balance of the debris into small pieces, shredding the debris into smaller particles, separating the ferrous and optionally the non-ferrous metals from the debris utilizing the combination of magnetic, air and/or water separating systems, dewatering the shredded debris to produce a daily cover suitable for use as a daily cover for a landfill.
