A new organics and recycling law goes into effect January 2022

A new California State law, SB 1383, aims to keep food and other compostable materials (“organics”) out of landfills to reduce emissions that contribute to climate change. Under the law:

The remaining organics must be collected for composting,
Recyclables must also be kept out of landfills.

Starting January 2022, SB 1383 regulations will be implemented in Unincorporated Contra Costa County under the Organic Waste Disposal Reduction Ordinance.
