California recycling
California has a statewide recycling rate of around 40% with an ambitious target of 75%. The Golden State also has some of the strictest recycling laws in the US, aimed at trying to significantly improve recycling and reach these goals. Certain businesses must have recycling collections in California to operate legally.
Assembly Bill (AB 341), also known as Mandatory Commercial Recycling Regulation, is the main law that covers recycling in California. It requires all businesses that generate four cubic yards or more of trash per week to arrange for recycling services. This includes paper, cardboard, plastic, aluminum, and glass.
At Business Waste, we can provide an array of recycling services in California for businesses of any size, industry, and location, which include:
Waste disposal in California
There are also laws covering waste disposal in California that businesses must comply with to operate safely. AB1826: Organics Recycling covers the disposal of food waste in California and other organic materials. Businesses that produce two cubic yards or more of trash and recycling combined per week must use organic waste recycling services.
Organic waste includes food waste, garden waste, non-hazardous wood, and paper contaminated with food. This aims to reduce organic waste disposal in landfill by ensuring companies separate waste food in California from other trash streams, so it’s either sent for composting or anaerobic digestion instead.
All waste we collect from businesses in the Golden State is disposed of away from landfill where possible. Alternatives such as incineration and energy from waste (EfW) are used for solid waste, while hazardous waste streams are disposed of responsibly in various ways. We work with vendors and suppliers to determine the best disposal method for your trash.
