New Website Offers Guidance for Managing Treated Wood Waste

Reprinted From the California State License Board                  Industry Bulletin dated April 22, 2022 

 
The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) has been advised that contractors working with treated wood now have a new online resource to help stay in compliance with state regulations. The resource tools in the attached document can be found at www.twwdisposal.org. 
 
Contractors play a crucial role as the nexus between treated wood generators and solid waste landfills accepting treated wood waste. The new resources provide important information on reporting, recordkeeping, prohibited activities and more. Proper compliance is critical to minimize illegal dumping and to ensure easy access for haulers and generators.
 
CSLB is distributing this message pursuant to subdivision (e) of Health and Safety Code Section 25230.15. Please refer to the Department of Toxic Substances Control website for information on treated wood waste or to the Western Wood Preservers Institute for more information about this message or about treated wood waste in California.
