Waste Plans (Construction & Demolition) Construction and demolition waste constitute 16% of Alameda County materials headed for the landfill. Most materials discarded at construction sites can be reused or recycled. Recycling reduces disposal costs and saves resources. The City of Berkeley requires a recycling plan as a condition of construction and demolition permits, to help the City meet State waste reduction requirements. The plan must be approved by the Solid Waste Management Division of the Department of Public Works. Reuse companies accept, buy or trade construction materials, such as tile, windows, lumber, fixtures and architectural elements. Deconstruction companies dismantle and reuse your building components, and often work with a demolition firm to clear and remove non-usable waste. Some haulers and facilities accept mixed waste and sort it – this may satisfy your recycling requirement. City of Berkeley requires an approved Construction Demolition Recycling Plan for all Use Permits and Demolition Permit.
