Construction and Demolition Requirements for projects within the Castro Valley Sanitary District Boundaries

Effective April 1, 2010, the Castro Valley Sanitary District recognizes Section 470 "Construction and Demolition Debris Management" which was added to the Alameda County Municipal Code Chapter 1508, Building Code on June 30, 2009.  Please visit the Alameda County Public Works Agency website for more information.

Castro Valley Sanitary District has an exclusive franchise agreement for municipal solid waste collection services including construction and demolition debris services.

How do I recycle Construction and Demolition materials? 

(1) Utilize the services of Waste Management of Alameda County, who, by contract, will take C&D materials to be properly recycled, or;

(2) As an incidental part of a total construction, remodeling, or demolition service, the licensed contractor may  recycle the materials at Davis Street Transfer Station or an alternate designated site for recycling (approved by CVSan), or;

(3) Self haul in a fixed body vehicle directly to a facility that holds all applicable permits (approved by CVSan).

Please contact WMAC at 510-613-8700 to request a C&D debris box.  Visit the Rates page for a listing of rates. Please note that there is a Collection Fee, and a Disposal Fee charged per ton based on actual disposal costs plus an administrative fee.

Or, purchase a Bagster Bag, an alternative to a debris box that holds 3 cubic yards of material (up to 3,300 pounds).  Materials are sorted and recycled.  Bags are approximately $30.00 and may be purchased at a local retailer.  An additional Collection and Recycling/Disposal Fee is paid to Waste Managment upon scheduling your pick-up.  Click here to find the Bagster Bag Collection Fee in your area.
