The City is required by state law to reduce the amount of material that is hauled to landfills.  To reach this goal, the City has developed the Construction and Demolition Diversion (C&D) Program which provides an incentive to encourage the diversion (recycling or reuse) of materials generated as a result of construction or demolition projects.

Permit applicants for large construction or demolition projects are required to submit a Construction and Demolition Diversion Program Form and deposit.  The deposit is eligible for reimbursement if at least 50% of the waste is diverted from landfill disposal and the applicant provides the required documentation.  In addition to the deposit, there is also an administration fee to compensate the City for all expenses incurred.  Amounts of the deposit and fee vary with the size of the project.

Projects that are exempt from the C&D Program deposit are single-family residential homes that are four units or less, construction projects less than $100,000 in value, roofing projects that do not include a tear-off of the existing roof, and work that requires only plumbing, electrical, or mechanical permits.

City staff and Burrtec Waste Industries can assist you with completing your reporting requirements.  For more information, call the Environmental Programs Info Line at (909) 919-2635.

NOTE: Burrtec Waste Industries is the ONLY business permitted to haul solid waste in the City of Rancho Cucamonga.  No unauthorized collection containers are allowed.
