      \r\n\r\nCRD waste, despite potentially containing similar materials, can greatly differ in terms of volume and composition depending on the location and time of year. This variation has important implications for waste management. To categorize CRD waste, Guy Perry and Associates and Keller Environmental (2015) have separated it into three distinct streams.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
