Construction and Demolition (C&D) Diversion Requirements

  • CALGreen requires builders/owners to divert 65% of the waste from covered residential and non-residential projects.
  • Covered projects require a Construction Waste Management (CWM) Plan that is filed with the Placer County Building Services Division prior to building permit issuance.
  • Tips for complying with CALGreen requirements along with information on covered projects, checklists of requirements, CWM Plans, and forms can be found on the Building Services website (Green Building).
  • Builders/owners can subscribe for debris box services with the franchised hauler, or self-haul waste to the nearest drop-off facility (see below) to properly dispose of construction and demolition waste.
  • Tahoe Truckee Sierra Disposal (TTSD) is the franchised hauler that provides services to eastern Placer County.
  • Recology is the franchised hauler that provides services to western Placer County.
  • The California Green Building Standards are available online on the International Code Council’s website.
