Construction and Demolition Debris Recycling

Construction and demolition debris make up at least 20% of the waste landfilled in Fremont.  The City of Fremont requires reuse, recycling, and proper disposal of demolition and construction debris. 

Before permits are issued, a Waste Handling Plan must be completed.  At the conclusion of the project, applicant must submit a Waste Diversion & Disposal Report including copies of weight tags and/or receipts, for all construction/demolition materials.
