Most remodel and cleanout debris is fine. California's statewide rules and the local facilities set the limits.
CalRecycle, the state's recycling agency, keeps a list of waste banned from the trash. It includes all batteries, fluorescent tubes and LED bulbs, latex and oil-based paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, antifreeze, motor oil, and tires. Treated lumber, asbestos, propane tanks, and anything with mercury are on it as well. So are electronics such as TVs, computers, printers, microwaves, and cell phones.
Hazardous waste, liquids, paint, solvents, fuel, and asbestos can't go in a standard dumpster.
Azusa also expects recycling on construction jobs. Since January 1, 2017, covered construction and demolition projects in the City must recycle or reuse at least 65 percent of their waste and document it. Sorting materials as you work makes that easier.
