It is increased rapidly that a quantity of construction wastes is 129,572 ton/day in 2005, from 78,777ton/day in 2000. The construction wastes as concretes, asphalt concretes, woods, and metals have been increased due to demolishing the antiquated apartments and expanding social facilities. Therefore, we need reducing and recycling construction waste. Construction waste has little harmfulness, and it could be used by circulation aggregate by proper treatment. But recycling rate is very low because of a term of works and expense problem. The purpose of this study is to offer basic data for kind of construction waste when demolishing building and to find the way to reduce the construction wastes.
