How to dispose of Concrete, Brick & Asphalt in California

California rules

C&D waste diversion required. Most transfer stations accept clean concrete.

General steps

1. Concrete, brick, and asphalt are highly recyclable — search for C&D recycling facilities nearby.
2. Many facilities accept clean concrete and brick for free or low cost.
3. Remove rebar, wire mesh, and other metal before delivering for recycling.
4. Small amounts may be reused as fill, drainage material, or garden borders.
5. Never put in regular trash or curbside recycling — too heavy and can damage equipment.
