DISCUSSION AND INSIGHTS

WHAT IS SB 1383?

The California Senate Bill 1383 is a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP) by reducing organics waste disposal to 50% by 2020 and 75% by 2025. Organic waste in landfills emits 20% of the state’s methane, which is 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide

HOW DO I COMPLY?

Beginning January 1, 2022 all Californians must separate organics waste into a separate green container. SB 1383 requires residents and businesses to arrange for organics waste recycling services.
