The Procrastinator’s Guide to SB 1383 Recordkeeping and Reporting

2022 is less than five months away — is your jurisdiction ready for SB 1383 recordkeeping? If not, the good news is it’s not too late! For jurisdictions, initial reports are not due until April and October, but recordkeeping starts on January 1. So in this session, we’ll focus on the nuts on bolts of the recordkeeping requirements.

The 127 pages of SB 1383 regulatory text ultimately boil down to a handful (albeit a large handful) of different types of information that a jurisdiction must keep accurate and up-to-date records on. We will walk you through exactly what that information is, and suggest ways to streamline setting up your documentation. This will help to ensure that nothing falls through the cracks, and that you’re prepared for both a CalRecycle record request as well as for your annual reporting. 

Having spent the better part of 2020 and 2021 building software for this exact purpose, we have a firm grasp on the requirements. We will share what we’ve learned along the way, and answer questions, so that all jurisdictions -- not just Recyclist customers -- have a solid roadmap for success.

Finally, SB 1383 is a team effort -- if ever there was one! -- between cities, counties and haulers, as well as consultants and potentially other organizations. Maintaining records in one central location, as the regulations require, while simultaneously maintaining data privacy, can be a challenge. So we’ll also go over best practices for collaborative recordkeeping based on real-world successes from Recyclist customers.
