Food Waste Recycling
In 2016, the State of California passed Senate Bill (SB) 1383, California’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy, which aims to reduce methane and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions statewide. To meet this goal, the bill establishes two targets by 2025:
- A 75% reduction of statewide organics waste disposal from 2014 levels
- A 20% or greater recovery (for human consumption) of edible food currently disposed of in California
Beginning January 1, 2022, all businesses, schools, multi-family complexes, and single-family home residents are required to subscribe to an organics collection service and must separate into their green organics container ALL of their green waste, food scraps, and food-soiled paper (100% fiber-based).
For more details on how the food waste recycling programs affects you, visit here or view the following flyers:
