Abstract

This study is intended to calculate the actual recycling ratio of construction waste and recycled aggregate generated on site of the final disposal company. It is also analyzed the construction waste of the final disposal company, as well as aiming to ultimately analyze the actual disposal state of Korea’s construction waste. According to on-site research on the middle disposal company, the average recycling ratio, reclamation, and incineration of brought in waste were 95.6%, 4.2%, and 0.01%. As the result of on-site research on the middle disposal company, disposing ratio of construction waste was shown at 4.2% lower in recycling percentage when compared to statistic data of Ministry of Environment, Republic of Korea (year 2005, in metropolitan area) and 4.0% and 0.01% higher in reclamation and incineration compared to the data. These differences seem to be because export data of waste in simple construction fields were only applied in the process of the current statistic data calculation. Actual results of construction waste’s final disposal company did not reflect. Also recycle method of recycled aggregate needs to be used as a high value. Therefore, in order to improve efficiency of the government’s construction waste-related policy, it is judged there needs to be improvements in current disposal methods.
