California Organics Recycling SB 1383
The California Senate Bill 1383 is a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCP) by reducing organic waste disposal to 50% by 2020 and 75% by 2025. California residents' and business owners' participation is an essential component to meet these new requirements, and Republic Services can help you comply.

SB 1383 Regulations & Resources
Organic waste in landfills emits 20% of the state’s methane, a climate super pollutant 84 times* more potent than carbon dioxide. By taking the simple act of placing organic waste into an organics recycling cart instead of a trash cart, California residents are helping divert organic waste from the landfill and reducing these harmful emissions.
