The CIWMB guidelines for establishing a facility recycling rate are the following: A facility rate is calculated by the overall "Mixed Construction and Demolition Waste" material volume in a calendar month divided by the amount of material disposed in a sanitary landfill in the same calendar month. To establish the monthly facility rate requires CWS to audit and report all activity. This procedure is completed by the 15th day of the following month.
The CWS Recycling Report lists, in detail, the service dates, the type of material disposed, the weight of the material, and the overall recycling percentage which is calculated using all the activity data. The CWS Recycling Report is recognized by the CIWMB and every municipality in the marketplace. CWS provides this service at free of charge.
CWS...working harder to help you!
CWS recognizes the importance of municipal compliance with AB939 mandates. This is why, a year ago, CWS voluntarily initiated an outreach program to every municipality that CWS serves either with our own collection division or by third party individuals, or firms, utilizing the CWS processing facility for their disposal needs.
CWS provides quarterly recycling reports, within 45 days of the end of the previous quarter, that summarize all of the activity generated from a particular municipality.

The LEED building program, as dictated by the U.S. Green Building Council, has performance thresholds that translate into overall project ratings that demonstrate sustainability/green achievements in building design and function.
The CWS recycling report is recognized by the LEED program. CWS is an expert in the LEED program and can assist your project to achieve the three LEED points that are available for waste material recycling.
