Abstract
C&D waste poses a considerable risk for the environment due to its large quantities. Efficient management of this type of waste has to be ensured today in order to reduce its impact. The paper presents sources and classification of C&D waste, and possible waste management alternatives. Ways to increase the effectiveness of the C&D waste management on construction sites are discussed. Legal requirements valid in Slovenia and their influence upon various stakeholders' actions are presented. A case study dealing with demolition of a reinforced concrete bridge and associated C&D waste management is discussed. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that effective C&D waste management contributes to decreased costs and more efficient overall management of the construction site.
