Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling for Certain Businesses California’s Assembly Bill 1826 required mandatory organics recycling as April 1, 2016. At that point, businesses generating eight cubic yards of organic waste per week were required to recycle their organic waste. The law includes schools, hospitals, stores, restaurants, for-profit or nonprofit organizations, as well as residential dwellings with five-plus units. New requirements will be phased in over several years and help California recycle 75 percent of its generated waste by 2020. This law helps California achieve its aggressive recycling and greenhouse gas emission goals and address climate change. Organic materials (yard trimmings, food scraps and soiled paper) make up 41 percent of the remaining waste stream. Redirecting these resources to composting and digesting operations will save landfill space, generate energy, reduce emissions, and restore soils. Organic recycling mandates are triggered by timelines and quantities. Key start dates are: April 1, 2016: Generators of eight or more cubic yards of organic waste per week. January 1, 2017: Generators of four or more cubic yards of organic waste per week. January 1, 2019: Generators of four or more cubic yards of solid waste per week. January 1, 2020: Generators of two or more cubic yards of solid waste per week (pending statewide progress). Businesses can meet the mandatory requirements by: – Separating organic wastes and contracting a waste recycling service to collect and recycle organics. – Recycling organics onsite, or hauling organics offsite for processing. – Subscribing to a waste recycling service that separates. • Police Reports Monday, January 30 to Sunday, February 5 Robberies 2700 W. 120TH ST.
