Solid Waste Facilities in the SWA region are governed by Title III of the SWA Code. Title III authorizes a voluntary program for C&D facilities. With a sorting and recycling program for mixed C&D materials, facilities can be certified. Builders who are required to recycle by City or County ordinance or by the new California Green Building Code "CALGreen" can comply by sending mixed loads of C&D to these facilities for recycling credit. It is an easier way for builders to recycle if their job-site is too crowded for multiple bins or if they have other reasons why mixed recycling is preferable to source separating their wood, metal and cardboard.

Administrative Rule 2009-01 designates recyclables for extraction from mixed C&D debris by SWA-certified C&D sorting facilities.

The following facilities have been certified as C&D Debris Sorting Facilities by the SWA. Their recovery percentage is listed. This figure represents what percentage of material the facility extracts from loads of mixed C&D subjected to their sorting operations.
