Overview:
The Department
of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) will hold a public workshop on
May 1, 2024 to consult with the public, the regulated community, third-party
contractors, and other interested persons to solicit feedback on some of the
requirements outlined in SB 54 (Allen, Chapter 75, Statutes of 2022).
The workshop
will cover non-regulatory topics, including an update on the Needs Assessment
and potential updates to the Covered Material Categories (CMCs). We encourage
organizations that are interested in bidding on upcoming contract solicitations
for the needs assessment to attend this workshop.
Request for
Public Feedback:
At the public
workshop, CalRecycle will be presenting statutory overviews of the various
topics as well as non-regulatory concepts. CalRecycle will provide discussion
documents prior to the workshop to give interested parties time to review the
content in advance. There will be opportunities for interested parties to
provide verbal or written feedback during the workshop. CalRecycle requests
feedback to be focused on the specific topics being discussed.
How to
Participate in the Workshop:
CalRecycle will
hold the public workshop starting at 10:00 AM on May 1, 2024, to solicit
