What Goes Where & More

Mandatory Recycling: California Assembly Bill 341 (AB 341) became effective July 1, 2012. AB 341 mandates recycling for all businesses producing 4+ cubic yards of garbage per week. Subscribing to recyclable materials collection services through GreenWaste will help ensure compliance with AB 341.

Mandatory Organics Recycling: California Assembly Bill 1826 (AB1826) was signed into law in 2014, mandating organics recycling for businesses in California. All businesses in California producing 2+ cubic yards of total generated material per week are required to subscribe to organic material collection services. Since GreenWaste processes the mixed compostables, all businesses are automatically compliant with this regulation.

Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy: California Senate Bill 1383, effective January 1, 2022, requires all Californians to subscribe to their jurisdiction’s organics curbside collection service. For Burbank businesses, GreenWaste provides both a mixed organics stream (gray cart) and a source separated organics stream (green cart). Food scraps, food soiled paper, and other organics are recovered from the gray cart at the GreenWaste MRF, which serves as a high diversion organic waste processing facility. Businesses are required to provide properly-labeled and/or color-coded containers in all areas where disposal containers are provided, except in restrooms. Annually, businesses must educate employees, contractors, customers, and tenants on how to properly sort organic waste, and all of these users are required to properly sort these materials into the correct containers. Starting in 2022, some food service businesses must donate edible food to food recovery organizations, with others starting in 2024. GreenWaste will be working with Burbank to raise awareness and provide resources regarding food recovery.
