Are you building, remodeling, or demolishing in Mendocino County? If so, you may be required to fill out a Construction and Demolition plan.
Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste is a significant and growing part of the disposed waste stream in California; it makes up approximately 28% of the disposed waste. C&D materials are generated in the construction and demolition of residential and commercial buildings, roads, tenant improvements and remodels, landscaping and site clearing activities.
Reducing the amount of C&D materials disposed in the landfill will help Mendocino County jurisdictions meet California's AB939 waste reduction mandate. Salvaging, reusing, and recycling C&D materials can reduce disposal costs, extend the life of landfills, save natural resources and create jobs.
Components of C&D Waste
