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 substantive proposed changes to regulations compared to the final draft regulations from the first formal rulemaking. The purpose of this draft regulatory language is to implement, make specific, and clarify Senate Bill (SB) 54 (Allen, Chapter 75, Statutes of 2022).
