Senate Bill 1383

Signed into law in 2016, SB 1383 mandates:

• 75% reduction of organic waste disposal in landfills by 2025
• 20% rescue of currently wasted surplus food by 2025

Here's how it will work:
Beginning January 1, 2022 residents and businesses will be required to recycle all organic waste. Local governments are required to use the recycled products, such as renewable energy, compost, and mulch. 

Beginning January 1, 2022 for large food service businesses (and by 2024 for smaller ones), edible food must be donated to food recovery organizations instead of thrown away. These businesses include restaurants, schools, hotels, hospitals, grocery stores, etc.
