48.2.6 City <strong>of</strong> San Jose, California, USA<br />

San Jose introduced its Construction and Demolition Diversion Deposit (CDDD)<br />

Program in 2001. Projects being undertaken for the city authority and private new<br />

construction, alteration and demolition projects all require a permit. Contractors<br />

running these projects must also pay a deposit which is calculated according to<br />

project size and value. Private permitted projects must comply with 50% recycling<br />

requirements and city authority projects must meet a 75% target in order to receive<br />

their deposit back. Projects that do not require a permit and deposit must still comply<br />

with recycling reporting requirements. Processing facilities receiving C&D waste must<br />

be certified and those receiving source separated recyclate must have a proven<br />

recycling rate <strong>of</strong> 90% or more. 822<br />
