Our Facility
The CWS C&D Recycling facility is permitted and licensed by the State of California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) and CalRecycle. All municipalities in the Greater Los Angeles area recognize the CWS facility for mandatory recycling compliance purposes.
CWS is an active member of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and is an expert in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (L.E.E.D.) sustainable building program as it pertains to C&D waste recycling. For more details about L.E.E.D. click here.
Nearly every municipality maintains a mandatory ordinance requiring recycling of C&D waste to avoid potential for fines, loss of building permit, and/or failure of issuance for the final Certificate of Occupancy. The City of Los Angeles (see next paragraph), Long Beach, Torrance, Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, Gardena, Inglewood, Lakewood, Cerritos, Compton, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills and Santa Fe Springs all have strict recycling ordinances. CWS strongly suggests contacting your local building department to fully understand the legal aspects for responsible recycling.
As of January 1, 2011, the City of Los Angeles anticipates adopting a mandatory C&D recycling ordinance requiring waste material to be hauled and processed by City of Los Angeles-approved haulers and processors. CWS is a licensed hauler and a licensed processor. Similar to other municipal recycling ordinances, a performance bond will be required before a building permit will be issued to guarantee compliance.

CWS is ready to manage your recycling compliance in a professional and timely manner, whether that be to satisfy your local municipal mandate or for L.E.E.D. Within three business days of a request, CWS will provide, free of charge, a CIWMB and L.E.E.D. approved detailed Recycling Report recognized by all municipalities. Be assured your project will be fully compliant with all recycling requirements by using CWS dumpster services to haul and process your waste.
