Managing Treated Wood Waste
Sacramento, CA – The Contractors State License Board has been advised of additional resources for contractors working with treated wood.
On behalf of the treated wood industry, the Western Wood Preservers Institute (WWPI) has geared outreach efforts toward California residents, businesses, contractors, landfills, transfer stations, and waste haulers who are involved in treated wood waste (TWW) disposal. AB 332, which passed in 2021, required the wood-preserving industry to work with state regulators to conduct educational outreach efforts on the handling and disposal requirements.
In spring 2022, WWPI launched the TWWDisposal.org website to provide key information on disposal, including links to landfills authorized to accept treated wood waste. Thousands have accessed the site to learn how to identify treated wood waste and understand the requirements for handling, storage, labeling, and transportation of treated wood waste. To enhance understanding of the regulations, the website is available in both English and Spanish-language versions. The website also includes guidance for contractors who may be generating or disposing of treated wood waste.
Since last year, the City of Sacramento now offers treated wood waste disposal through its Household Junk Pickup Program, becoming the first city in the state to do so. Additionally, the re:source website serving Alameda County, Contra Costa County, and the City of Palo Alto now provides disposal locations that accept treated wood waste.
CSLB is distributing this message pursuant to subdivision (e) of Health and Safety Code Section 25230.15. Please refer to the Department of Toxic Substances Control website for information on treated wood waste or to the Western Wood Preservers Institute for more information about this message or about treated wood waste in California.
Build Your Own Death Star
in honor of May 4th – Star Wars Day, we were wondering what it would take to build a Death Star. Who doesn’t want their own Death Star?!
Size estimates of the Death Star vary between 75 miles and 99.5 miles in diameter, that’s pretty big. So mostly, you’re gonna need money and lots of it. Estimates go up to $852 quadrillion, that 852 followed by 15 zeros.
This mega project would require a lot of steel. By some calculations, the Earth has enough iron in its core to provide for two million Death Stars. But you wouldn’t want to sacrifice our planet for an army of deadly weapons, would you? Even if you took only the amount of iron needed for one Death Star, it would take over 830,000 years to produce enough steel so you could begin construction. It would take millions of rocket launches to get the steel where it needed to go.
Then you gotta man the Death Star. Weapon or not, this space station would require 1.7 million staff to run the station’s retail shops and troop cafeterias.
Add 25,984 stormtroopers and 342,953 Imperial Navy soldiers, and you’ll get 2,068,937 people living aboard the Death Star. If each person on the Death Star created 1.13 kg (2.5 lb) of waste every day, it would cost $564,925 daily not to turn the Death Star into a landfill. That doesn’t include people who fell into a trash compactor and weren’t able to blast their way out.
The daily electricity bill would add up to $52 billion. $274,000 to feed the crew, with another $20,400 to supply tea or coffee. $233,000 for one cycle of laundry. You wouldn’t expect your troopers to run around in dirty underwear, right?
The total for keeping the Death Star operational would amount to $7.8 octillion — every day.

Reviews
Wendy was fantastic in helping me get set up with an RMO. She was patient, explained the entire process clearly, and made sure I was matched with someone who was a great fit.
Since then, working with Cecy and Val has also been a great experience. The onboarding process has been simple and well organized. Overall, the team has made the process smooth and easy, and I would definitely recommend RMO Agency to others.
