C & D Waste Tracking Tool
If you're planning construction in unincorporated Sonoma County, you're in the right place! Sonoma County requires recycling and reporting for projects and building permits that are subject to CALGreen requirements.
Whether you're a homeowner, contractor, or project manager, our goal is to make compliance simple and stress-free. Let’s build a cleaner, more sustainable Sonoma County—together. Sonoma County requires all projects subject to CALGreen with a Building Permit to recycle 100% of inert materials (including but not limited to concrete, asphalt, soil, stone, and fines) and 65% of all other materials.
Effective February 2, 2026
Permit Sonoma is changing our Construction and Demolition (C&D) program. In the recent past we have been using Green Halo software to capture the amounts of waste diversion. As of February 2026, Permit Sonoma will no longer be using the Green Halo software. In lieu of Green Halo, Permit Sonoma has developed a form for creating and submitting a Construction Waste Management Plan. The form (BPC-071) is available on the Green Building Forms page.
Requirements
The process is for the customer (project team) to submit a preliminary BPC-071 as the waste management plan prior to the first inspection and a final BPC-071 Construction Waste Management Plan at the end of the construction.
Sonoma County requires all Sonoma County projects with a Building Permit, subject to CALGreen Section 5.408.1 and 4.408.1 to recycle:
- 100% of all inert materials (including but not limited to concrete, asphalt, soil, stone, and fines), and
- 65% of all other material
The BPC-071 form (Construction Waste Management Plan) can be downloaded from our website at: Green Building Program Forms & Checklists.
Submissions are to be made through Permit Sonoma’s ACA online portal.
Permit Sonoma will send reminders at permit issuance, and Building Inspection will follow up during construction inspections.
