Construction and Demolition Material Recycling

If you’re planning a construction or demolition project in Torrance, you must complete a Waste Management Plan (WMP) through Green Halo System and meet the following recycling requirements.

Projects must recycle:

  • 100% of inert materials, including concrete, asphalt, soil, stone, and fines

  • 65% of all other construction and demolition materials

Failure to fulfill the requirements of the WMP will result in penalties of $5,000 (construction) or $10,000 (demolition) as per the Torrance Municipal Code.

If you are not responsible for completing the Waste Management Plan, re-assign the project to the appropriate party using the link in the email.

Step 2.Submit Waste Management Plan

Log in to Green Halo to complete and submit your Waste Management Plan. You must identify material types, diversion methods, and recycling or disposal facilities.

The Waste Management Plan must be submitted before final inspection approval.

Step 3.Track and Submit Receipts

Upload all recycling and disposal tickets in Green Halo as work progresses.

Tickets must be reviewed and approved by the City before your project can receive final inspection approval.
