Data Centers Face New Waste Rules | Cedar Rapids News

Cedar Rapids is cracking down on data center waste with a new rule forcing developers to sort construction debris before landfill drop-offs—after two massive projects dumped 200,000 tons last year. Officials argue these cash-rich companies can—and should—handle their own waste responsibly to preserve landfill space and reduce environmental impact. The agency’s upcoming resolution will let them reject unsorted loads, while Google and QTS pledge to recycle more and partner with local facilities, aiming for cleaner, smarter construction waste management.
