California SB 1383

Senate Bill 1383 is a 2016 California law aimed at reducing methane emissions by reducing the amount of organic waste in landfills. It requires all residents and businesses to separate organics materials (food scraps, green waste) for recycling and to subscribe to an organics waste collection service.

SB 1383 requires the state to:

Reduce organic waste disposal 75% by 2025.
Rescue at least 20% of currently disposed surplus edible food by 2025.
