Contractors, businesses, and residents in Culver City can easily dispose of debris and construction or demolition waste by contacting the City.
To procure the proper equipment, call the City to arrange for disposal services. We’re here to assist you in responsibly managing your waste and ensuring it is handled in accordance with environmental regulations.
Together, let’s contribute to a cleaner and safer community.
Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris Recycling
- C&D recycling helps reduce landfill waste and is required by CalGreen and the Culver City Municipal Code 15.02.1140. Projects within Culver City must recycle at least 75% of construction debris.
- All building and demolition permit holders must comply with these regulations and use Green Halo (a free City-provided tool) to submit waste receipts and track diversion.
- To avoid contamination and ensure compliance, the City strongly recommends renting a separate trash bin for non-C&D waste.
- As of January 13, 2025, a monthly C&D Administration Fee was adopted by City Council. View the Fee Schedule for details.
If you plan to have long pauses throughout your project or are unsure of your start date, please contact the C&D team at jezenia.aguirre@culvercity.org.
Green Halo
Green Halo is the 3rd party website the City utilizes to track waste tickets and diversion. It is complimentary to the user. Below are “How To” guides to assist in navigating the website. C&D waste plans, waste tickets, and finals are reviewed and approved in the order received. Depending on the workload and the project, the typical turn around time is three business days. Please note that City Hall is closed on alternating Fridays and holidays, these days are excluded from the business day calculation.
