CalRecycle invites stakeholders to review and provide feedback on a draft report submitted by R3 Consulting Group as part of a study conducted under Contract Number DRR170063. The purpose of the study was to conduct research and analysis regarding the cost impacts of SB 1383 to local jurisdictions, which are tasked with enforcing most of the provisions of the law. The report provides options and recommendations for funding mechanisms that can be used by jurisdictions to implement the collection requirements and support the development of organics recycling infrastructure. The results of this study will be incorporated into a CalRecycle analysis required by Section 42653 of Senate Bill (SB) 1383 (Lara, Chapter 395, Statutes of 2016), which requires CalRecycle, in consultation with the California Air Resources Board, to analyze the progress that the waste sector, state government, and local governments have made in reducing organic waste disposal. This report addresses the requirement to include an analysis of appropriate rate increases for solid waste and recycling services to support organics recycling infrastructure expansion.
