Description of street sweeping disposal options
Link to this table

Option Description
Disposed at solid waste landfill Street sweepings are gathered, stockpiled, and hauled to a municipal solid waste landfill or private disposal site. No screening necessary.
Garbage/debris to landfill Street sweeping material is screened and garbage/debris (non-recyclable or non-organic trash materials) are separated and landfilled.
Reuse: compost Street sweeping material is screened and organic materials (e.g., fall leaves) are composted.
Reuse: recycling Street sweeping material is screened and recyclable materials (e.g., metal, paper, glass, aluminum cans) are disposed via recycling.
Reuse: alternative daily cover (ADC) Street sweeping material is screened for removal of recyclable materials, organic materials, and trash. The remaining fines/dirt are used as ADC at landfill sites.
Reuse: fill dirt Street sweeping material is screened for removal of recyclable materials, organic materials, and trash. The remaining material is used in commercial or industrial development, road restoration, or construction projects. The fill is intended to be used for an engineered purpose.
Reuse: subgrade material Street sweeping material is screened for sand, which is used as subgrade material.
Reuse: Aggregate in concrete or asphalt Street sweeping material is screened for removal of recyclable materials, organic materials, and trash. The remaining material can be used as aggregate for concrete or asphalt.
Reuse: winter application Street sweeping material is screened for removal of recyclable materials, organic materials, and trash. The screened sand is mixed with salt/sand mixture for winter application to roads, parking lots or sidewalks.
Reuse: bulking agent Street sweeping material is screened for removal of recyclable materials, organic materials, and trash and remaining material is used as a bulking agent for wastewater sludge or septage disposal. The mixed material is disposed in a permitted lined or unlined sludge or septage landfill.
Reuse: Spill cleanups Street sweeping material is screened for removal of recyclable materials, organic materials, and trash. Street sweepings that have been determined to be non-hazardous may be used as absorptive material to contain or to absorb hazardous materials in emergency situations.
Reuse: waste to energy Street sweeping material is screened for removal of recyclable materials, organic materials, and trash. The larger trash and organic materials (e.g., vegetation) can be used in a waste to energy facility to produce electricity.
