What is ADC and why do some jurisdictions not allow it to be counted as recycling?
ADC stands for alternative daily cover and is crushed aggregate that is used instead of dirt to cover the landfill on a daily basis. Most of these materials can be used for re-manufacturing into new products, soil amendments and other uses that are considered by some jurisdictions to be a better use of the product. Therefore, these jurisdictions do not count ADC as recycling. Please refer to the City C&D Ordinances page to see whether or not a city accepts ADC as recycling.
