SB 1383 Compliance and Progress
Track
Organics
Session Description
SB 1383 is one of the most significant changes in our solid waste world in the past 30 years. This law will help fight climate change by having organic waste generators take action now which will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and also help feed hungry Californians by creating an edible food goal. The SB 1383 regulations went into effect on January 1, 2022.
Our speakers will give an update on SB 1383 compliance and progress. You will hear firsthand from entities on their own progress to become compliant with SB 1383 and how some have used the SB 619 and Corrective Action Plan process to ensure their overall compliance. You will also hear from CalRecycle on how they have worked with entities to become compliant as well as the enforcement process.

Speaker Abstract
California cities are taking steps to reduce food waste and greenhouse gases in order to comply with SB 1383. Cities are ultimately responsible for enforcing compliance with the new regulation. So, how’s it going? How is your city or county dealing with the most significant change to our waste and recycling system since California started curbside recycling in the 1980s? Some may be more ahead of the game than others. The City of Pomona may not necessarily be ahead of the game, but is certainly making progress towards compliance with the help of CalRecycle.
