Construction & Demolition Ordinance

As much as 30% of the waste that goes to landfills is construction and demolition (C&D) debris. Much of this material can be reused or recycled, conserving natural resources and saving valuable landfill space.

To increase diversion of C&D materials entering local landfills and ensure that the City of Thousand Oaks continues to meet State-mandated waste reduction goals, the City adopted a C&D Recycling Ordinance (No. 1544-NS) in 2010. This ordinance requires that certain demolition and/or construction projects divert at least 60% of project-generated waste either through recycling or reuse.

Project Qualification and Requirements - Projects that exceed one or more of the following minimum standards are subject to the C&D Ordinance:

1,000 sq. ft. or more for residential addition or remodel
1,000 sq. ft. or more for new structures (residential & commercial)
2,000 sq. ft. or more for commercial improvements
Demolition of any structure requiring a permit
Permitted grading work generating (5) tons or more of inert waste material
City sponsored projects generating (5) tons or more of waste debris

All projects that meet or exceed these standards must submit the following:

1) A pre-project CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS RECYCLING PLAN

2) A post-project CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS FINAL RECYCLING REPORT

Waste Disposal Facilities

Contractors and waste haulers are not restricted in their disposal options for C&D debris, as long as projects meet the City's 60% debris diversion requirements.

Projects that utilize mixed waste recycling will require that materials are processed at a mixed C&D processing facility. The nearest mixed C&D processing facility is located approximately 10 miles north-east of Thousand Oaks at the Simi Valley Landfill. Click here for more information about the Simi Valley Landfill.

Additionally, the City of Thousand Oaks currently accepts material processing at facilities certified by the Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation. Contractors utilizing any of these certified facilities must use the listed Mixed C&D Debris Recycling Rate in determining their diversion rate on the C&D Recycling Plan and the C&D Recycling Report.
