How to Comply: Building (C&D) Permits Before January 15, 2026
If you submitted your construction or demolition permit application BEFORE January 15, 2026 or your permit is for a Production Permit:
- Step 1: Fill out WMP. Fill out the Construction & Demolition Waste Management Plan (WMP).
- Step 2: Submit WMP. Submit the completed Waste Management Plan to C&D@cityofsacramento.org. The Plan will be rejected if it is incomplete. C&D debris may only be hauled by a franchised waste hauler or self-hauled.
- Step 3: Approval. Recycling & Solid Waste (RSW) will review for approval. Approved WMP’s will be signed, marked approved and returned to you.
- Step 4: Record loads over course of project. All waste hauling and disposal or recycling activity must be entered on the Waste Log, including information from any subcontractors who self-hauled their own debris off-site. Use the waste log to record all loads, keeping a copy of the weight tickets and receipts indicating the material was recycled.
- Step 5: Submit Waste Log. Due 30 days after project completion. Submit the completed Waste Log with a copy of the weight tickets or facility report within 30 days of project completion to C&D@cityofsacramento.org
Please note: Overdue waste logs will delay future waste management plan approvals and may result in a fine. Failure to meet the mandated 65% diversion rate required by local and state law may result in a fine.
