RECYCLING, COMPLIANCE, AND ROOF TEAR OFF (This message is for Orange County customers only...for now)
Don't
let the city keep your permit deposit!
The State of California is on a mission to recycle its waste. Two separate bills have been proposed
and passed (Senate Bill 1374 and Assembly Bill 939) to achieve this. The laws basically say that 50% or more of waste
be diverted from landfills and be recycled. Because waste is measured by tonnage, construction and demolition projects
are prime targets for ciites. City building departments are implementing systems that require a contractor pulling a
permit that includes construction and demolition to give a deposit of up to $500 for each permit to show proof that roof tear
off is being recycled. A receipt providing demolition (tear off) has been recycled will get you your deposit back.
Because public dumps are not considered a recycler, challenges have been created for a growing number of roofing
contractors.
SG has partnered with Madison Materials to help you comply with the new regulations.
Madison Materials is a mixed waste processing facility and heavy volume commingled construction and demolition operation. SG is
able to offer you the following services together with Madison's high tech equipment, advanced machinery:
1. AB 939 compliance. 2. SB 1374 compliance. 3. 75% diversion of all construction and demolition waste from all
cities in Southern California. 4. 75% diversion for all demolition contractors. 5. Recycling of roofing materials, asphalt, wood (including w/nails), metal,
concrete, paper, cardboard, carpet, dirt,
plastics 1-7, e-waste, appliances, green waste, and sod. This innovative partnership
between SG and Madison Materials also has the following key benifits:
Location - Madison Materials
is centrally located in Orange County (next door to SG Santa Ana). Efficiency - Madison Materials is privately
owned and operated so it is in their best interest to have you in and out and back to work as quickly as possible (unlike
a public dump). Hours of operation - Open Monday through Friday 6:00am - 5:00 pm (open an hour earlier and later
than any public dump). Capcaity - Madison materials is far from its total daily capacity so you will not
be turned away causing a second inefficient trip to dump tear off. Cash flow - Charge your recycling fees on your
SG account by supplying Madison with an SG PO number. This will work exactly like a will call at tile plant with your
truck. Security - No need to give an employee a blank check hoping you will get a receipt. Tracking -
By receiving a bill from SG for your recycling fees we can apply it to the appropriate job enabling you to more accurately
job cost. Save $$ - SG's competitive rate will save you money, assist in your compliance, and give you
the ability to get your deposit back. Vehicle condition - Sometimes public dumps are nesting areas for city police
to write fix it tickets or red tag for your dump trucks. Madison is a private, not public facility. Recycle
- Take part in helping the environment by recycling your tear off. Purchase Roofing Material - Recycling
next door to SG allows you to purchase any short term needs you may have to assist with your next job. No need
to make a special trip.
OK, I like this recycle idea, so how do I start?
1. An SG "Star preferred Customer" laminated card
will be issued to you by mail or in person. This must be shown on every
dump to protecct you from someone else claimin to be from your company. 2. When you are ready
to make a dump call SG Sant Ana for a PO number. A PO number is good for only one dump. (Do not dump
more than 1 time on a PO number to avoid accountability errors and clean biliing.) 3. Take your
tear off to Madison Materials next door to SG Santa Ana, drive directly up on the scale and show the man in the
booth your SG "Star Preferred Customer" laminated card and tell him your SG PO number. 4.
Madison Materials will then weigh your vehicle and ask you to dump a few feet away. 5. Drive
back on the scale to be weighed empty. (You only need to be weighed twice on the first entry per truck). 6.
A small sticker with a code number will be placed on your truck to identify its empty weight so the next recycle trip will
only require one scale weighing. 7. A receipt
will be given to the driver and he drives away. This receipt is your golden ticket to your deposit
return. 8. SG will bill you on your SG account. SG will also reference the Madison Material
weigh ticket number on your invoice.
