Mandatory Organics Recycling (AB 1826)

With the passage of AB 1826, new organic recycling requirements will be phased in over several years so while this may not affect you now it can in the future.

Mandatory Commercial Recycling (AB 341)

As of July 1, 2012, AB 341 requires that businesses generating four cubic yards or more of solid waste per week, and multi-family apartment units of five or more, must recycle. The method of recycling depends on which collection methods are available in your geographic area.
