Cal. Civ. Code § 5:17-10.1
Waste disposal
Operative Text
Waste disposal shall comply with regulations promulgated by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The contractor shall record the name of the waste hauler or the site(s) where the waste was taken if the contractor did not use a waste hauler.
Under N.J.A.C. § 5:17-10.1, waste disposal activities must conform to the rules set by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Additionally, the contractor performing the work is required to keep a written record identifying either the waste hauler used or the specific site(s) where waste was deposited if no hauler was involved. This provision establishes both a compliance standard and a documentation requirement for waste generated during covered work.

Property owners and managers overseeing contractors subject to N.J.A.C. § 5:17-10.1 generally ensure that any waste disposal carried out on their behalf meets New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection regulations. Compliant operators typically verify that their contractors maintain records naming the waste hauler or the disposal site(s) used when no hauler is engaged. Retaining copies of these contractor records can support a property owner's ability to demonstrate compliance if questions arise.

N.J.A.C. § 5:17-10.1 establishes that waste disposal connected to covered work in a rental property must follow state environmental rules, and that contractors must document how waste was removed or where it was taken. Tenants who have concerns about improper waste disposal during work performed at their residence may contact the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection or a local tenant-rights organization to understand what oversight mechanisms are available. Keeping notes about observed disposal practices and any communications with the landlord or contractor can be useful when raising concerns under this provision.
