The City of Rancho Cucamonga is required by state law to reduce the amount of material that is hauled to landfills. To reach this goal, the City created the Construction and Demolition (C & D) Waste Diversion Program to divert materials generated from construction or demolition projects from landfill disposal to recycling or reuse.
PLEASE NOTE: Burrtec Waste Industries is the ONLY business permitted to haul trash in the City of Rancho Cucamonga. No unauthorized collection containers are allowed.
Exemptions
Projects that are exempt from the C&D Program deposit are single-family residential homes that are four units or less, construction projects less than $100,000 in value, roofing projects that do not include a tear-off of the existing roof, and work that requires only plumbing, electrical, or mechanical permits.
