On December 4, 2007, the San Diego City Council passed the Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris Deposit Ordinance (PDF: 35K). Effective July 1, 2008, this program is designed to keep C&D materials out of local landfills and ensure they get recycled instead.
Starting July 1, 2008, applicants for certain building and demolition permits will be required to comply with this ordinance. (See table below.) How it will work:Before any work is performed on the site, applicants must turn in a Waste Management Form, which will provide a general estimate of the total waste generated by the project including how much will be recycled. A pre-determined deposit is also required. During the project, applicants will determine which recycling facilities are most convenient for recycling waste. Certified recycling facilities must be used in order to be eligible for a refund. Donating reusable goods is also acceptable with appropriate documentation. At the end of the project, the total deposit will be returned to the applicant only if 50 percent or more of all C&D waste was recycled. For the city to determine this, a Deposit Refund Request and all receipts for recycling and disposal must be submitted. The following table indicates types of projects that are affected by the program. Please note the building's square footage to determine deposit amount.
