How do I know if my project is a Covered Project?_______________________________ RESIDENTIAL: Demolition, new home construction, or additions or alterations of existing residential buildings where the addition or alteration increases the building’s square footage. NONRESIDENTIAL: Demolition, interior tenant improvement preparation, newly constructed buildings, and/or building alterations with a permit valuation of $100,000 or above. 3.What is the process?__________________________________________________________  Step 1: Complete the C&D Recycling Plan (Plan) and submit it with the permit application. Your permit will not be issued without an approved Plan.  Step 2: Environmental Programs Division staff will: o Review and approve the Plan and authorize the permit to be issued. o For Covered Projects, staff will place a hold on the permit final inspection to ensure submittal of the C&D Recycling Report (Report) at the end of the project.  Step 3: Contact Recology for a debris box and provide the associated permit number to track with your project.  Step 4: Upon collection of each debris box by Recology, request a copy of the receipt and weight ticket(s) from delivery to the C&D recycling facility.  Step 5: At the end of the your project, complete the C&D Recycling Report, attach copies of all debris box weight tickets from the project (or a weight ticket report provided by Recology) and submit directly to the Environmental Programs Division. Upon review of the report, supporting documents, and verification of the diversion, staff will release the hold on the permit and final inspection may be scheduled. 4.Is Recology the only company I can obtain a debris box from?___________________ Yes, Recology (408-725-4020) is the only debris box provider franchised to service Cupertino unless a debris box is provided by the contractor working on the site as part of total service (see question #5). ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS DIVISION | 10300 TORRE AVENUE, CUPERTINO, CA 95014 408-777-3236 | ENVIRONMENTAL@CUPERTINO.ORG City of Cupertino Environmental Programs | FAQs: C&D Recycling | Page 2 of 2 FAQS: CONSTRUCTION & DEMOLITION (C&D) RECYCLING 5. Can I self-haul my mixed construction and demolition waste?_____________________ Yes, but only under the following circumstances:  Mixed C&D materials may only be removed from the project site by the project’s licensed construction and demolition contractor as part of a total service offered by that contractor. Removal must be performed by an employee of the contractor, using equipment (including but not limited to debris boxes and roll-off trucks) which are owned by the contractor.  Removal of single source separated materials (metal, wood, concrete) that are sold or donated to any other person or organization which have a value equal to or more than the cost of collection. 6. Where can I take self-hauled mixed construction and demolition materials?______ Mixed construction and demolition materials may only be taken to an approved C&D recycling facility. An approved C&D Recycling facility means a mixed recovery facility that has achieved third party verification consistent with facility-average recycling rates as recognized by the US Green Building Council. Presently, the Recycling Certification Institute’s Certification of Real Rates (CORR) protocol meets these requirements. (See recyclingcertification.org for nearby facilities). Source separated inert material may be taken to other material recovery facilities. 7. Can I obtain diversion credit for salvaging materials?______________________________ Yes, the first priority for demolition is to remove recoverable materials such as solid wood floorboards and lumber, brick, appliances, windows, doors, and decorative hardware. There is a conversion to weight for these items to assist completing the Report. Best Management Practices The following are key strategies to implement on your project to ensure that materials generated during demolition and construction can be recycled and/or repurposed:  Separate recyclable materials and keep them dry and free from contamination.  Identify opportunities to source separate material generated from the project. For example, consolidate clean lumber, metal, sheetrock, cardboard from the mixed debris. Single source separated materials carry a greater potential for recycling and recovery when taken to a recycling facility.  Label debris boxes or storage containment areas by material type. For example, clean wood, sheetrock, metal, concrete, and garbage.  Your project will generate some material that is not recyclable. To avoid contaminating materials that can be recycled or repurposed, place a container, either a Recology debris box or smaller container (small single family residential jobs) specifically for garbage such as rigid plastics, film plastics, empty adhesive containers, and worker food packaging.  Tarp all debris boxes and contained material storage piles during wet weather.
