Subject: Thank you for supporting AB 332 (Treated Wood Waste)

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for your support and help with the passage of Assembly Bill 332 (Committee on Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials, Chapter 147, Statute of 2021). In accordance with Health and Safety Code Section 25230.15, Western Wood Preservers Institute developed a new website with resources on appropriate handling, storage, labeling, transport, notifications, recordkeeping, reuse, and disposal.

The new website URL is www.TWWDisposal.org. If a user is not aware of the specific regulations that apply to them, he or she can click on one of the following user categories: household, contractors, businesses, haulers, generators, and landfills. Each user section outlines specific requirements that apply to that user category.

Please share this new resource with your membership and colleagues. Please reach out to us if you have any questions about treated wood.

Have a great weekend.

Thanks,
Ryan Pessah
