California State laws AB 1826 (Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling, 2014) and SB 1383 (Short-lived climate pollutants, 2016) require commercial businesses to establish programs to divert organic waste from the landfill. The State has also established edible food recovery targets for businesses.  For more detailed information on regulations and the City's commercial organic recycling programs, click the links below.
