Single-Source, Separated Debris: Lower Rates
Customers can save by delivering single-source loads. These loads must contain only one kind of recyclable material. No garbage of any kind is allowed. To create single-source loads and qualify for lower rates, customers must separate debris and construction material and place each type of material in individual debris boxes, i.e., a debris box for wood, another for metal, another for concrete and so on.
The following are accepted for single-source loads:

• Asphalt
• Concrete
• Dirt
• Green waste
• Metals (ferrous and nonferrous)
• Lumber
• Paper and cardboard
• Wood
  
  Please note: Contaminated debris boxes will be treated as garbage and charged at standard garbage rates. Call (925) 603-1383 for details and information about the debris you are planning to recycle with Allied Waste.

Commingled Loads
To comply with local construction and demolition debris ordinances, customers must fill 50 percent or more of their debris boxes with recyclable materials. Recyclables can be any or a combination of the following:

• Cardboard
• Carpet padding
• Green waste
• Lumber and wood, including painted wood
• Metals
• Shake roofing
• Sheetrock, drywall, plasterboard, wallboard
• Small pieces and quantities of asphalt paving, concrete and rocks
  
  Unacceptable materials in mixed loads include liquids, heavy steel plates, concrete tile roofing, creosote treated wood (railroad ties, utility poles, pressure-treated wood), hazardous wastes, including computer monitors and televisions.
