California Recycling Laws You Need to Know About

California is now experiencing the effects of a climate crisis: world record-breaking temperatures, even more devastating fire seasons, more extreme droughts, and rising sea levels that erode our coastlines. Scientists tell us that greenhouse gases released by human activities, like landfilling food, paper products, and yard waste cause climate change. Several laws related to waste reduction, resource conservation, and greenhouse gas emission reduction have been passed over the years and they all impact you.

SB 1383 requires every resident and business in California to keep organic materials out of landfill.
AB 1826 requires businesses and multifamily units to separate organic waste from garbage for composting.
AB 341 requires businesses and multifamily units to arrange for recycling services.
AB 827 requires food-generating businesses to provide containers for recycling, organics, and trash for customers to use.
