Construction & Demolition (C&D) Debris Recycling Ordinance

To encourage C&D recycling, the Town of Danville has adopted a C&D recycling ordinance. The ordinance requires projects within the Town, where the total construction costs are projected to be greater than, or equal to $50,000, or which involve the construction, or renovation of 1,000 square feet or more, including roofing projects OR demolition-only projects (greater than or equal to 300 square feet) to divert 50% of their job debris from the landfill.   The ordinace requires submittal of:

1. a Waste Management Plan (WMP) as part of the application submittal requirements for a building, grading, demolition or similar permit; and
2. Plan compliance documentation must be submitted once the project is completed.

Mandatory Use of Certified C&D Facilities
In order to be counted toward the project’s 50% diversion requirement, all C&D waste must be taken to a Certified C&D Recovery Facility.  The Central Contra Costa Solid Waste Authority (CCSWA) maintains the list of certified facilities.
