We Provide Proof of Recycling

Many communities have enacted local construction and demolition (C&D) recycle ordinances and
require proof that your material has been recycled. Contra Costa Transfer & Recovery can provide you
with the documentation you need to comply. Here’s all you need to do:

• Step #1 Make sure your load has a minimum of 50% recycle material mixed with trash or a 100%
  clean (no trash) single source load. See information below.
  
  
• Step #2 Tell the scale house operator you need "Construction and Demolition Recycle Ordinance"
  on your weight ticket.
  
  
• Step #3 Your weight ticket will be your receipt to comply with local C&D recycle ordinances.

              It’s that easy!!
