Effective April 2016, businesses must recycle their organic waste depending on how much they generate per week.AB 1826(Chesbro, Chapter 727, Statutes of 2014)phases in new organics recycling requirements over the next several years to help the state meet its goal of recycling 75% of its waste by 2020.

1.   April 1, 2016:Businesses that generate eight cubic yards of organic waste per week shall arrange for organic waste recycling services.

2.   January 1, 2017:Businesses that generate four cubic yards of organic waste per week shall arrange for organic waste recycling services.

4.   Summer/Fall 2021:If CalRecycle determines that the statewide disposal of organic waste in 2020 has not been reduced by 50 percent of the level of disposal during 2014, the organic recycling requirements on businesses will expand to cover businesses that generate two cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week. Additionally, certain exemptions, previously discussed, may no longer be available if this target is not met.
