SB1383: Organic Waste and Edible Food Recovery
Effective January 1, 2022, State Law SB 1383 requires all businesses and residents to separate organics and recyclable materials from trash and either subscribe to the required collection services or self-haul organics to an appropriate facility for diversion. It also requires some businesses to donate excess edible food to feed people in addition to starting an organics collection service.
Contra Costa County will impose penalties for non-compliance on regulated entities subject to County authority starting January 1, 2024. For more information about how you can comply, see below:
