Acceptance Procedures for Construction, Renovation and Demolition
Riverbend Landfill cannot accept materials that contain asbestos.
To protect the health and safety of our employees and customers, all loads of construction, renovation and demolition waste are screened before, during and after unloading for materials that may contain asbestos. Please refer to the list below to determine if your construction (renovation) and demolition (C&D) debris contains materials that commonly contain asbestos in concentrations greater than 1%.
Any test results and metro form filled out must be submitted to this email address: pbuilder@wm.com to be issued a permit before coming to site. Any material manufactured after January 1, 2004, does not require pbuilder submission, however a copy of the waste approval form is required for every load that comes in with construction debris.
