Treated wood means wood that has been treated with a chemical preservative for purposes of protecting the wood against attacks from insects, microorganisms, fungi, and other environmental conditions that can lead to decay of the wood, and the chemical preservative is registered pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (7 U.S.C. Sec. 136 et seq.). These preservatives often include one or more of the following constituents: arsenic, chromium, copper, pentachlorophenol, and creosote.

There are fees for bringing mixed construction & demolition debris, building construction and remodeling debris, landscaping materials, and bulky items to our facility.
Common recyclables are collected free of charge from residential customers. Businesses may be subject to charges.
Please call the office if you have a question about what materials are accepted and to get a cost estimate.
For a fee, we can provide detailed wastes audits of the materials collected depending on the size and complexity of materials. There is a minimum report fee of $125 (and a charge of $75 an hour for sorting) for a detailed report that includes pictures of the waste stream, analysis of the stream, and suggestions on ways to divert more materials.
For contractors and landscapers that need to show high diversion rates to comply for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) projects, local C&D ordinances and/or CalGreen, it is recommended that materials be source separated. Please inform the attendant at the MRRC booth on Jacoby or the scale house on Andersen of the contents of the load (i.e. concrete). This way, the material will be noted on the scale ticket and can be used to show a higher overall diversion rate.
Need help? Call our office Monday-Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at (415) 456-2601 to speak with a commercial recycling coordinator.
Source separation of materials in our rental debris boxes is the most efficient method of collection of materials that require diversion reporting.
