See the C&D Debris Recycling Facilities list.

 

To comply with Ventura County Ordinance 4590, project applicants must self-haul to a sorting facility, use an Authorized Solid Waste Collector, salvage usable materials, and/or reuse materials onsite:

For ReStore, please ask for a receipt or similar documentation showing you have donated/sold your reusable materials. For other reuses, submit a Statement of Compliance explaining how your materials were salvaged and, if possible, contact information for verification by the recipient.

Self-Hauling to a C&D Sorting Facility

Self-hauling is only permitted by residents hauling their own material or by contractors using their own equipment as a part of their total construction/demolition service.

When self-hauling to a C&D Sorting Facility, residents/contractors must inform the gate operator they have a C&D Recycling Plan with the County of Ventura and need a recycling receipt. If a recycling receipt is not requested, the facility will give a generic receipt which will not show compliance with recycling requirements.

 

Renting a Bin from an Authorized Solid Waste Collector

If your site will be renting a bin from an Authorized Solid Waste Collector, notify the collector during the initial service setup that you will need a recycling receipt for a C&D Recycling Plan.

Please note, C&D sorting is often not possible from three-cubic-yard bins (the square bins lifted over the front of a truck). The minimum size for sorting is usually 10 cubic yards and must be a roll-off box (the type of container lifted onto the back of a truck). Ask your Solid Waste Collector about bin size requirements for proper sorting.

 

Donating/Salvage

Please request a receipt or similar form of documentation showing materials were donated/sold.

 

Reusing Materials On-site

If materials are being reused on-site, a Statement of Compliance must be submitted.

The California Green Building Code (CALGreen) requires 65% of construction and demolition debris to be diverted from landfills.

This means reusing and recycling materials that remain after:

✓ Construction of new buildings

✓ Demolition of buildings

✓ Additions and alterations to non-residential projects

✓ Additions and alterations to residential buildings that increase the structure’s conditioned area, volume, or size

For applicable projects to comply with CALGreen, a C&D Recycling Plan must be submitted to the County through Citizen Access (for contractors working for the County of Ventura, see our FAQ below on submitting a Recycling Plan).

Projects that require a Recycling Plan include:

✓ Construction of new residential and non-residential buildings

✓ Demolition of residential and non-residential buildings

✓ Additions and alterations to non-residential projects

✓ Additions and alterations to residential buildings that increase the structure’s conditioned area, volume, or size

 

Projects that may be exempt from submitting a Recycling Plan include:

• Projects consisting solely of additions or alterations of existing residential dwellings that do NOT increase the structure’s conditioned area, volume, or size

• Projects consisting solely of the installation of prefabricated structures such as manufactured or modular home, metal barns, patio enclosures and covers

• Projects consisting solely of the installation of prefabricated accessories such as signs or antennas where no foundation or other structural building modifications are required

• Projects consisting solely of the installation, removal, or relocation of solar panels

• Projects consisting solely of an above or in-ground pool and/or spa

• Work for which only a plumbing permit, an electrical permit, and/or a mechanical permit is required

Form C is no longer required for most projects, regardless of when you first submitted your Form B – Recycling Plan.

If you still have a copy of your Approved Form B Recycling Plan, please email it with your recycling receipts to PWA.IWMD-CD@ventura.org when your project is complete. You will receive a follow up email once your application and receipts have been reviewed and approved.

If you cannot find a copy of your Approved Form B Recycling Plan, please email PWA.IWMD-CD@ventura.org with the following:

• Project Manager name, phone number, and email
• Contact name, phone number, and email
• Project description, site address, and Assessor’s Parcel Number
• Recycling receipts
• You will receive a follow up email once your receipts have been reviewed and approved.

In these situations, a Statement of Compliance must be submitted as a receipt. You may download our Statement Template Word Doc (en español) or write your own statement that includes:

• Applicant’s Name or Company
• Property Owner’s Name
• Project Address
• Assessor’s Parcel Number
• Project Description
• Material and Management Method (e.g., reused, curbside recycling)

Projects completed by contractors working for the County of Ventura must follow the C&D Recycling process described in awarded contracts:

• Complete and sign Form B – County Project Recycling Plan and email it to PWA.IWMD-CD@ventura.org. You will receive an email once your plan has been reviewed and approved.

• Once your project is finished, complete and sign Form C – Recycling Report and email it to PWA.IWMD-CD@ventura.org. Please be sure to attach all receipts showing you have recycled your debris. You will receive an email once your report and receipts have been reviewed and approved.
