Senate Bill 876 (Escutia, Statutes of 2000, Chapter 838) was enacted to provide a comprehensive measure to extend and expand California’s regulatory program related to the management of waste and used tires. One of the key provisions of this measure requires the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to adopt and submit to the legislature a Five-Year Plan that includes proposed budget allocations. In addition, it requires that the Plan be updated every two years. CalRecycle’s goal, although not codified in statute, is that 75 percent of waste tires be recycled.
