The purpose of this report is to provide information regarding the cost impacts of SB 1383 to local jurisdictions, which are tasked with enforcing most of the provisions of the law. This report addresses 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. As fees for service, otherwise known as “customer rates,” are the most common funding mechanism that pays for solid waste collection, this report discusses how rates can be structured to address necessary cost increases.
