Business Recycling

Requires all businesses that generate four or more cubic yards of garbage per week and multi-family dwellings with five or more units to recycle.

Mandatory Recycling AB341

 

Governor Brown signed legislation AB341 which increases the state of California's waste diversion goal from 50 percent to 75 percent.

 

The law requires California commercial enterprises and public entities that generate four or more cubic yards per week of waste, and multi-family housing complexes (such as apartment buildings and mobile home parks) with five or more units to adopt recycling practices.

 

The purpose of the law is to :

 

  • Reduce garbage heading to the landfills

  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

  • Conserve resources and increase the availability 
    of materials for recycled-content manufactures
