It is required that construction projects incorporate sustainable waste management practices. This includes recycling, reusing, or salvaging debris from all new constructed buildings and demolition projects, all locally permitted additions and alterations to non-residential projects and additions and alterations to residential buildings that increase the structure’s conditioned area, volume, or size. The specified goal is a minimum 65% waste diversion, emphasizing the need to divert a significant portion of construction waste away from landfills. This commitment to waste reduction aligns with broader environmental initiatives, promoting responsible construction practices and contributing to a more sustainable and eco-friendly built environment.
PRIOR to issuance of a permit: All required projects must submit a Construction and Demolition Debris Plan, this plan must be approved by the designated city official.
AFTER issuance of a permit: If self-hauling debris, weight tickets are required to be submitted every two weeks. If opting to work with waste hauler- Burrtec provides debris plan assistance, contact:
