The purpose of this article is to reduce the amount of waste from construction and demolition projects in the city of San Marino that is disposed of in landfills by requiring "covered haulers" and applicants for every "covered project" to divert a minimum of fifty percent (50%), by weight, of the construction and demolition debris generated or received. The creation of this compliance program is necessary to secure compliance with the state mandated diversion requirements established by the California integrated waste management act of 1989, as amended.
