Recycling of construction and demolition waste (C&DW) provides new raw materials, reducing the use of natural resources and the amount of waste for disposal. The aim of this work is to increase the recycling rate of C&DW by building a recycling yard with a mobile plant, with minimal negative environmental impacts. Primary separation at source, including the removal of hazardous waste, is key to increasing the recycling rate. If this is not possible, the waste is transported to recycling yards for secondary separation. When selecting a location for recycling yards, environmental impact, energy requirements, transportation, distance from settlements and natural factors are taken into account. Recycling yards have control points for measuring the mass of waste and storage. Construction waste is recycled using the best available technologies, and the resulting materials are reused in construction. Waste that is not suitable for recycling is disposed of in landfills, while the excavated soil is used for site rehabilitation. The impact of the recycling technological process on the environment was assessed using the Leopold matrix. Based on the assessed negative environmental impacts, measures were given for their elimination or reduction to an acceptable level, emission limits into the environment were determined, and environmental monitoring was carried out.
