Effective April 16, 2014, the Village of Riverwoods adopted a Construction and Demolition Debris Diversion Ordinance. This ordinance requires at least 75% of construction and demolition debris to be diverted from landfills for projects including, but not limited to the construction of new principal buildings, the demolition of more than 1,500 square feet of gross floor area, or the renovation and/or addition of more than 1,500 square feet of gross floor area within the Village of Riverwoods. The full text of the ordinance requirements is available online at: codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/riverwoodsil. If you have any questions, please call the Building Department at 847-945-3990.

For all projects, there are three steps to certifying construction and demolition debris diversion:

Complete and sign this form and submit it with your permit application documents.
Have the construction debris hauled to a facility that recycles construction materials and ask for receipts that show the weight of debris generated by the project and the weight of debris being recycled or diverted from landfill disposal.
Five (5) or more days prior to final inspection, submit a completed and signed “Construction and Demolition Debris Diversion Compliance Report” along with the original receipts that show that the 75% diversion requirement has been met, to the Building Department.
