The City of Imperial Beach requires a Construction and Demolition (C&D) Waste Management Plan for some of the construction projects.
According to Cal Recycle, construction and demolition (C&D) waste account for 22% of all waste in California. That is a significant number considering much of that waste ends up in a landfill. Most construction waste can be recycled or reused at a cost-saving to the builder. In many cases, state and local law requires the recycling of 65% of all construction waste.
Note: 2016 CALGreen new requirements (PDF) apply to projects that are locally permitted starting on January 1st, 2017.
All are mandated to divert at least 65% of their construction waste, but who is required to divert?
- Project cost is greater than $25,000
- Project area is 2,500 square feet or more
- Projects sponsored by the City or Redevelopment Agency
- Project is governed by California Green Building Code
Construction waste generated in Imperial Beach can be handled through EDCO or by self-hauling to an approved C&D processing facility. There are different types of containers, check the dimension, load weight limits, and best uses for your project.
