(c) Construction or demolition wood generated at a residence, other than wood that has been pressure-treated or that otherwise contains arsenic, furniture, mattresses and rugs or any such waste which has been crushed, chopped, shredded or otherwise processed shall be considered municipal solid waste and may be disposed of at any solid waste disposal area for which a solid waste permit has been issued for the disposal of bulky waste, or at a resources recovery facility or municipal solid waste landfill.
(P.A. 96-103, S. 1; P.A. 00-29, S. 1, 2.)
History: (Revisor's note: In Subsec.

(c) by adding provision re construction or demolition wood generated at a residence that is not pressure-treated or arsenic-containing and specifying that enumerated waste material shall be considered municipal solid waste, effective May 1, 2000.
