California contractors will have an easier time disposing of treated wood waste (TWW) now that AB 332 was unanimously approved by the state legislature and signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom on Aug. 31.
AB 332 restores the Alternative Management Standard (AMS) for the disposal of TWW. The AMS, in place since 2008, allows preservative-treated wood waste to be disposed of in approved Class 2 and 3 landfills.
