“2024 Recycling & Organics Collection – What you need to know” Webinar

Please view our educational webinar for local businesses with information about state and local recycling requirements. Key topics include the three ways commercial generators may comply with Senate Bill 1383, a state law that mandates the recycling of organic waste; and local County ordinance, which requires commercial generators to subscribe to a level of collection service sufficient to handle the commercial generator’s volume of trash, organics, and recyclables. Please click here for a copy of the flyer for this event.
