With the passage of AB 1826, new organic recycling requirements will be phased in over several years and will help the state meet its goal to recycle 75 percent of its waste by 2020.
Most organic waste is recyclable through methods such as composting, mulching, and anaerobic digestion. Organic recycling services often accept a wide variety of different types of organic waste.
The law requires that businesses arrange for recycling services for the following types of organic waste: food waste, green waste, landscape and pruning waste, nonhazardous wood waste, and food-soiled paper.
Businesses, including public entities, and multifamily complexes of 5 units or more are required to recycle their organic waste after April 1, 2016, depending on the amount of waste they generate per week.
City of Lynwood and Waste Resources Inc, the City’s hauling company, are here to help you comply with the new state requirements.
