Under SB 1383, effective January 1, 2022, exemptions will now be referred to as waivers. However, the law allows for case-by-case exemptions if businesses and multifamily complexes meet specific criteria. Watch a video explaining the main requirements of SB 1383Īssembly Bill (AB) 341 and AB 1826 require businesses and multifamily complexes (5 units or more) that generate a specified amount of solid waste per week to arrange for recycling and organics recycling services, respectively.
SB 1383 also requires the regulations to recover, for human consumption, at least 20 percent of edible food that is currently thrown away. Senate Bill 1383 directed CalRecycle to adopt regulations to reduce organic waste by 50 percent from its 2014 baseline level by 2020 and 75 percent by 2025. The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery released revisions to the proposed regulations to reduce organic waste in landfills.
SB 1383 SLCP - Short-lived Climate Pollutants: Organic Waste Methane Emissions Reductions Organic items can include food scraps such as prepared foods, meat, or dairy. Recyclable items include empty and dry cardboard, mixed paper, cans and bottles. These bins must be placed adjacent to trash bins and be visible, easily accessible, and clearly labeled. Organic waste (also referred to as organics) means food waste, green waste, landscape and pruning waste, nonhazardous wood waste, and food-soiled paper waste that is mixed in with food waste.Ĭlick here to view Inland Empire's Organic Solutions handout!Ĭlick here to view a AB1826 & AB 341 Handout!Ĭommercial Organic Waste Recycling Rates (64 gallon cart)Īssembly Bill (AB) 827 – Solid Waste: Commercial and Organic Waste: Recycling BinsĮffective July 1, 2020, businesses, except full-service restaurants, must provide organic waste and recycling bins at the front-of-house to collect recyclables and organic waste (e.g., food scraps) generated from products purchased on-site. This law also requires that on and after January 1, 2016, local jurisdictions across the state implement a Mandatory Organic Recycling (MOR) program to divert organic waste generated by businesses, including multifamily residential dwellings that consist of five or more units (please note, however, that multifamily dwellings are not required to have a food waste diversion program). In October 2014 Governor Brown signed AB 1826 Chesbro (Chapter 727, Statutes of 2014), requiring businesses to recycle their organic waste on and after April 1, 2016, depending on the amount of waste they generate per week.

This regulation reflects the statutory provisions of AB 341 (Chesbro, Chapter 476, Statutes of 2011).According to 2008 Statewide Waste Characterization data, the commercial sector generates nearly three fourths of the solid waste in California. The regulation was adopted at CalRecycle’s JanuMonthly Public Meeting. The MCR Measure focuses on increased commercial waste diversion as a method to reduce GHG emissions. Mandatory Commercial Recycling (MCR) was one of the measures adopted in the Assembly Bill 32 Scoping Plan by the Air Resources Board (ARB) pursuant to the California Global Warming Solutions Act (Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006).
