Disaster Debris Recovery Tool

Map

EPA developed this interactive mapping tool of twelve types of recyclers and landfills to promote sustainable disaster debris management. Disaster planning and emergency response experts can use the tool to advance the safe recovery, recycling, and disposal of disaster debris. This tool provides information and locations of over 20,000 facilities capable of managing different materials and wastes that may be found in disaster debris. The tool was created in EPA Region 5 in 2010 and has expanded to include data for all 50 states, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Pacific Islands.

The DDRT dataset and web map were updated in August 2026 in several ways:

  • All landfill data were refreshed
  • Facilities located in Pacific Islands were added
  • Data source and last updated date were added to each facility record
  • The data can be filtered more easily by location.
  • The mobile version of the tool was enhanced and optimized.
