The criteria which are used in the evaluation of the enterprises’ performances are specified with an elaborative literature search. Enterprises which are executer of the recycling activities of construction and demolition wastes form the alternatives of the study. Step-Wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) is used to weight the determined criteria. In the wake of the weighting of the criteria, performances of the enterprises, which executer of the recycling activities of construction and demolition wastes were evaluated by way of Evaluation Based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS). Based on the consequences of the study, the most weighty criterion from the point of recycling of the construction and demolition wastes was specified to the sustainability. The study also indicates that the environmental effects and the transportation of construction and demolition wastes are specified as the other important criteria, respectively. As to EDAS method, consequences show that the Alternative 5 is the best firm in terms of recycling of the construction and demolition wastes performance.
