Construction Waste Diversion Program
Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste accounts for 29% of materials going into landfills. The City of Palm Desert is mandated by State law to help reduce the amount of material hauled
to landfills through the California Green Building Code (CALGreen). The City has created a process to make compliance easy through the C&D Diversion Program, and it all starts with
a Construction Waste Management Plan.
A Construction Waste Management Plan (CWMP) is necessary to demonstrate compliance with State regulations for your C&D project. A CWMP ensures that C&D projects salvage, reuse, or recycle
all inert solids (for example concrete, drywall, brick, asphalt, glass, plaster, and clay) and divert at least 65% of all other debris generated by your project. This 65% diversion
requirement, including 100% diversion of land clearing debris (for example dirt, rock, and landscape material), is a mandatory requirement of CALGreen. See the
