Overview

The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) will be holding an informal public workshop to solicit feedback from the public, the regulated community, and other interested persons on concepts for regulations to prescribe processes for the registration of dealers and the application, registration, and operation of dealer cooperatives. The purpose of the regulations being developed is to implement, make specific, and clarify Public Resources Code sections 14510.2, 14578 and 14578.5 that were added to the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act by SB 1013 (Atkins, Ch. 610, Statutes of 2022).
