Disposal and recycling reports, rolled up ticket by ticket from the jobs you already closed.

By the last load a job has tickets from the general hauler, the metal buyer, the concrete crusher and perhaps a salvage buyer. A project manager or office lead totals them by material, sorts out which receiving facility took what, and fills in whatever form the owner's specification or the city's ordinance asks for, with the percentage the owner requires as the target.

In the test, AI reads copies of those tickets and rolls them up into a draft report: material type, weight or volume, receiving facility, and a separate list of the tickets with no facility or no weight. It says nothing about whether the job met a goal. A person checks and signs every report, and your reviewer compares each draft with the one you sent.

One load can be filed five ways. Seattle's Waste Diversion Report, per its August 2025 instructions, records each haul by material type, diversion method (reuse on site, salvage off-site, recycle source separated, recycle commingled or disposal), quantity, unit in tons, pounds, cubic yards or number of items, whether workers or a third-party hauler took it, the haul date, the hauler and the receiving facility. It also asks whether asbestos abatement was performed. Its material list keeps drywall scrap from new construction apart from drywall out of demolition or remodel, clean wood apart from painted or treated wood, and Mixed Demo Waste apart from Mixed Construction Waste. The draft uses the list in the form your reviewer names, and marks any ticket whose material it can't place.

Mixed loads run through somebody else's number. Austin's ordinance lets a qualified processor report total tons and an average diversion rate, with tons diverted worked from that rate, and it says individual weight tickets aren't needed when all material went to one location and a weight ticket summary came back. Los Angeles County's Final Compliance Report has the same arithmetic in a table: hauler, facility, handling method and recycling rate, tons sent, and tons recycled as the product of the last two. Seattle tells applicants a mixed facility's receipt can be totaled and reported as commingled Mixed C&D. So the draft carries the rate the facility stated, names where it came from, and never supplies one.

Yards and tons don't mix on their own. Madison's report form takes each amount by weight or cubic yards, per hauler and recycler. Case Western Reserve University's Section 01 74 19 lets a plan use weight or volume so long as one unit runs throughout, and Alameda County's General Services Agency has contractors use the same units as the plan's good-faith estimate, with quantities entered as volume converted at a rate table the county approved. A roll-off billed by the pull and a crusher ticket in tons can't be added until someone applies a factor, so the draft converts only with the factor your owner or city gave, and it shows every conversion.

Owners want to trace a load back. Alameda's specification has the contractor keep a log of each load, with its type, weight, hauler, recycling service or landfill and date accepted, landfill loads logged separately from recycling, and it reserves the right to audit that log. Los Angeles County wants receipts showing both the weight and where the material originated, and if a facility doesn't issue weight tickets, a signed statement from both parties giving the tons delivered. That's why the draft sets aside a ticket with no facility or no weight instead of guessing, and lists every ticket naming a different job address. Universal waste gets its own line in Alameda's plan, and inert material sent to an engineered fill operation stays out of Los Angeles County's Table 2.

The clock and the goal belong to the owner. Seattle's report is due within 60 days of final inspection approval, Madison's within 60 days of completion, and Los Angeles County's no later than 45 days after completion. Austin's is due when the final inspection is requested, it reaches commercial demolition of all sizes, and one alternative to its diversion test is landfilling under 2.5 pounds of debris per square foot of floor area. Alameda County wants a report at a progress payment milestone and again at completion, with approval of the final one before full release of retention, and Case Western has recyclers turn in records monthly. A LEED job adds the Construction and demolition waste management credit, and Alameda counts material streams for it, defined as a category or a mixture diverted in a specific way. In Massachusetts a disposal ban reaches asphalt pavement, brick and concrete, metal, clean gypsum wallboard and, at landfills, wood. Your reviewer will check each facility, weight and conversion against what you reported. Whether a job met the percentage the owner requires stays with a person, and nothing here is legal advice.

Once your reviewer signs off, tickets from newly closed jobs get the same roll-up for about 30 days.

A person on your staff checks and signs each report before it goes to an owner or a city.

The comparison continues on live work. A second job, if you want one, would be decided and priced separately.
