Steps
Prepare and submit a Construction Waste Management Plan (WMP) with the demolition/building permit application, per CalGreen (Title 24 Part 11) Section 5.408.
Identify diversion methods (recycling, salvage, reuse) and destination facilities to achieve at least 65% diversion of nonhazardous C&D debris before work begins.
Track material leaving the site with weight/haul tags from a certified recycling or disposal facility, capturing date, job address/permit number, material type, and disposition.
Update the WMP during construction if the diversion strategy changes, and keep it accessible on site for inspector review.
Submit a Debris Recycling Report with actual receipts and weight tags to the enforcing agency before final inspection to document the achieved diversion rate.
Known gotchas
Some local jurisdictions layer stricter diversion percentages or separate C&D ordinances on top of the statewide CalGreen minimum — check the local building department, not just the state code.
A generic single-roll-off mixed-waste disposal receipt does not count toward the 65% unless the receiving facility provides verifiable diversion documentation.
