B. RATIONALE:
This guideline is intended to provide direction for the disposal of specific construction

as much of the building materials as possible, it is recognized that this is not always
feasible and therefore disposal locations are necessary.

and demolition debris disposal site that was formerly operated by E.C. Dakin & Son
Construction Ltd. The Village of Grand Manan is continuing to utilize the site for the
disposal of construction and demolition debris. The debris is to be source separated at
the municipal solid waste transfer station on Grand Manan prior to delivery to the
construction and demolition debris disposal site. Recycling/salvaging of construction
and demolition debris is encouraged.
