AB 341 Mandatory Commercial Recycling Law

The commercial sector generates nearly three fourths of the waste in California much of which is recyclable. The Mandatory Recycling Law (AB 341) is designed to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by diverting commercial solid waste to recycling and requires businesses, including public entities, generating four (4) cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week or a multifamily residential dwelling of five units or more shall arrange for recycling services starting July 1, 2012. Businesses can take one or any combination of the following to divert solid waste from disposal: self-haul, subscribe to a hauler(s), arrange for the pickup of recyclable materials, and/ or subscribe to a recycling service that may include mixed waste processing that yields diversion results comparable to source separation.

Please contact Republic Services (MG Disposal) to sign up for recycling or find out about your recycling options for compliance. For more information, visit the CalRecycle website for more information about the Mandatory Recycling Law.
