The Northeast Recycling Council (NERC), Brattleboro, Vermont, in collaboration with the environmental consulting firm DSM Environmental Services Inc., Windsor, Vermont, has been awarded a contract from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) to conduct a construction and demolition (C&D) market study.
