Per the 2016 CALGreen code, 65% of construction and demolition (C&D) materials must be diverted away from the landfill by either recycling or reusing materials.

The purpose of the CWMP Part 1 is to estimate the tonnage to be disposed and diverted during construction and also to plan where the materials will end up before the project is even started. The CWMP Part 2 shows the actual tonnage amount of the waste materials generated from the project through receipts from recycling facilities, landfills, or a reuse certification.

Commercial additions greater than 1,000 square feet, and alteration projects valued greater than $200,000 are required to submit a Universal Waste Disposal Verification Form along with the CDWMP form. Please be advised that San Bernardino County owned and operated sanitary landfills are not permitted to accept asbestos contaminated wastes. Any debris generated by the demolition of structures is subject to asbestos clearance prior to disposal at any San Bernardino County owned and operated sanitary landfills. As the applicant, you are required to have a Certified Asbestos Consultant perform testing of all materials you wish to dispose. Upon receipt of the Consultant’s report indicating that your debris is not contaminated, SWMD’s Operations Section can provide you with a disposal authorization.
