Where Do I Recycle...
In Focus
SB 1383 Implementation
In September 2016, Governor Brown signed SB 1383 establishing targets to achieve a 50 percent reduction in disposed organic waste by 2020 and a 75 percent reduction by 2025.
What Is National Sword?
In July 2017, China announced a policy called National Sword, which limits the import of contaminated recyclable materials. These changes in China’s policies may have significant impacts on California’s economy and environment, as China has been the top recipient of California’s exported recyclable materials.
Wildfire Debris Cleanup and Recovery
Beginning in summer of 2018, California experienced a series of fast-moving wildfires that claimed lives and caused significant damage to communities throughout California. The Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) is the lead state agency on disaster response. CalRecycle has additional information for residents and debris cleanup contractors.
