The present study is focused on the potential to reduce economic losses due to waste products generated in the utility and construction complex. The scientific research approach is based on the application of comparative, contrastive, quantitative and expert analysis methods. Domestic and foreign studies on the application of secondary resources in a closed economic cycle, as well as environmental safety require-ments at all stages of the secondary resource treatment, are analysed and systematised. The results of the authors’ own research in the field of assessment and analysis of the waste resource potential are presented. According to the obtained results, a low level of resource saving in the construction and utility sector is indi-cated due to the impossibility of characterising technological processes of these areas as non-waste or low-waste. A classification of secondary resources from the processed waste generated in the considered areas of economic activity is presented. The majority of waste materials from construction, repair, demolition and maintenance of immovable property isshown to be applicable for reuse in the production and economic cycle for both finished and semi-finished products. A set of organisational and technical measures, aimed at the reduction ofhazardous properties for such wastes and expansion of their further use in the form of secondary resources, is defined and substantiated. The organisational and technical measures presented in the study contribute to ensuring environmental protection from the negative impacts of industrial activity in the form of anthropogenic objects, such as construction and utility waste facilities, as well as to expanding the applica-tion of their resource potential.
