SB 1383 – Mandatory Organics - Coming Soon

Senate Bill 1383 requires Californians to sort and separately collect food scraps, yard debris, and food-soiled paper from trash and recycling. This means food scraps are no longer acceptable in your trash container. SB 1383 is the most significant landfill waste reduction mandate adopted in California in the last 30 years. Its goal is to reduce organic waste discarded in landfills by 75% (from 2014 levels) by 2025. This means diverting over 20 million tons from landfills to slow climate change and reduce the state’s environmental footprint. 

WM offers commercial businesses 64-gallon food waste carts, and 1 to 3-yard food waste bins in the City of Chico.
