and uncontaminated solid waste resulting from land clearing. Such
waste includes, but is not limited to, bricks, concrete and other
masonry materials, soil, rock, wood (including painted, treated and
coated wood and wood products), land clearing debris, wall coverings,
plaster, drywall, plumbing fixtures, nonasbestos insulation, roofing
shingles and other roof coverings, asphaltic pavement, glass, plastics

buckets 10 gallons or less in size and having no more than one inch
of residue remaining on the bottom, electrical wiring and components
containing no hazardous liquids, and pipe and metals that are incidental
to any of the above. Solid waste that is not C&D debris (even
if resulting from the construction, remodeling, repair and demolition
of utilities, structures and roads and land clearing) includes, but
is not limited to, asbestos waste, garbage, corrugated container board,
electrical fixtures containing hazardous liquids such as fluorescent
light ballasts or transformers, fluorescent lights, carpeting, furniture,

or shredding. Also, waste contained in an illegal disposal site may
be considered C&D debris if the Department of Environmental Conservation
determines that such waste is similar in nature and content to C&D
debris.
