C&D Debris Deposit Ordinance

On July 1, 2008, the Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris Deposit Ordinance (PDF: 35K) took effect. The ordinance requires that the majority of construction, demolition and remodeling projects requiring building, combination and demolition permits pay a refundable C&D Debris Recycling Deposit and divert at least 50% of their debris by recycling, reusing or donating usable materials. The ordinance is designed to keep C&D materials out of local landfills and ensure they get recycled.
