recyclable general construction or demolition debris and
recovered wood that is processed for use as fuel from
non-recyclable general construction or demolition debris
to be disposed of or discarded.
(2) Transport off site for disposal all non-recyclable

facility.
(3) Limit the percentage of incoming non-recyclable
general construction or demolition debris to 25% or less of

debris, as calculated on a daily basis, so that 75% or more

09700SB1543sam003 - 3 - LRB097 09942 JDS 53535 a
of the general construction or demolition debris accepted
on a daily basis consists of recyclable general

construction or demolition debris for recycling or
disposal within 6 months of its receipt at the facility.
(5) Within 45 days of its receipt at the facility,
