Construction and Demolition Recycling

 

The Construction and Demolition Recycling Ordinance was adopted by City Council in January 2007 and serves to monitor the amount of construction and demolition debris being recycled from "priority project." The ordinance requires a waste management plan for all priority projects with a valuation over $100,000 and all projects requiring a demolition permit to ensure that at least 50% of the debris will be recycled. The program is expected to increase the City diversion rate, as construction and demolition is a major part of the waste stream in most jurisdictions.
