To achieve the goals of SB 1383, CalRecycle estimates that California needs approximately 50-100 new or expanded organic waste recycling facilities to annually recycle an additional 20-25 million tons of organic waste. Edible food recovery infrastructure expansion is also needed. Capacity planning is vital to help jurisdictions meet this mandate. More information about capacity planning requirements and reporting cycles can be found on CalRecycle’s Capacity Planning Webpage. Regulatory requirements for edible food recovery and organic waste recycling capacity planning share similarities. Web reports are available for the following data reported by each County.

Disclaimer: The following information is based on self-reported data provided by counties from the periodic Capacity Planning Report. While efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data, it is important to note that self-reported information may be subject to errors. If it appears that there is no data within a county’s report, that is most likely because the entity did not report or was exempted from some capacity planning requirements.
