Recycling & Reuse Program

Construction and Demolition (C&D) debris consists of the materials generated during the construction, renovation and demolition of buildings, roads and bridges. C&D debris often contains bulky, heavy materials that include concrete, wood, asphalt, gypsum, metals, brick, glass, plastic, doors, windows, plumbing fixtures, tree stumps, earth and rock from cleaning sites that can be recycled rather than be landfilled.

Recycling C&D debris conserves landfill space, reduces the environmental impact of producing new materials, creates jobs, and can reduce overall building project expenses through avoided purchase/disposal costs.

The City of Monrovia has implemented a Construction & Demolition Recycling program to assist any individual, firm or company with construction, demolition or renovation projects within the city. To get started, a Waste Management Plan (WMP) must be completed and submitted to the Public Works Department. A performance security must be paid in the amount of $0.20 per square foot or $250, whichever is greater.

The diversion requirements for all projects shall be 50% of the materials generated by the entire C&D project. Once the project is complete,  a Waste Management Report (WMR) indicating the quantities of material recycled, along with receipts or weight tickets may be submitted. If the WMR indicates that all diversion requirements were met, the performance security deposit will be refunded.

C&D Program Applies to the Following Projects:

• Residential addition of 1,000 square feet or greater
• Renovation improvements of 1,000 square feet or greater
• New construction of 1,000 square feet or greater
• Demolition of 1,000 square feet or greater
