Waste Management for State Agencies

Program News...
  • Annual Reports are due Sept. 1, 2009. Log into your report HERE
  • Review the video of the February 2009 workshop describing how the new Per Capita Disposal Measurement System (created by SB 1016) will impact your agency's waste reduction reporting.

As part of California’s continuing commitment to reduce the amount of solid waste entering landfills, State agencies and facilities are now required to meet waste diversion and recycled product procurement goals.

In addition to meeting the waste diversion goals, all State agencies are required to buy recycled-content products when making purchases in 11 different categories ranging from paper and plastic to paint, and lubricating oils. State agency participation is critical as it provides markets for the materials recycled.

This site was developed to assist State government waste reduction/recycling coordinators and procurement officers in their efforts to reduce, reuse, recycle, and buy recycled.
