Mandatory Commercial Recycling

Informal Stakeholder Workshops

Two informal workshops to solicit stakeholder feedback were held as a part of implementing the Mandatory Commercial Recycling measure outlined in the California Air Resources Board Scoping Plan for the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32, Núñez, Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006). These workshops offered an informal opportunity to talk about issues around design and implementation of this Mandatory Commercial Recycling measure. Staff provided background information regarding this effort, including related legislation, related projects, and the overall timeline. Discussion included input on a range of issues such as thresholds, exceptions, implementation, enforcement and costs. These are also described in the related "white paper" listed in the Workshop Materials section below.

In a follow-up to these workshops, staff presented an update and requested direction on stakeholder input regarding the AB 32 Scoping Plan Mandatory Commercial Recycling Measure at the September 9, 2009, Strategic Policy Development Committee meeting.

Workshop Dates

All interested stakeholders were invited to informal stakeholder workshops on Mandatory Commercial Recycling that were held in both Northern and Southern California locations.
