SUBJECT : Solid waste recycling
SOURCE : Author
DIGEST : This bill clarifies that "commercial solid waste"
includes all types of solid waste generated by a store, office,
or other commercial or public entity source, including a
business or a multifamily dwelling of five or more units;

ANALYSIS : Existing law, under the Integrated Waste Management
Act of 1989, defines "commercial solid waste" as having the same
meaning as Section 17225.12 of Title 14 of the California Code
of Regulations where it is defined as "all types of solid wastes
generated by stores, offices and other commercial sources,

excluding residences, and excluding industrial wastes."
This bill clarifies that "commercial solid waste" includes all
types of solid waste generated by a store, office, or other
commercial or public entity source, including a business or a
multifamily dwelling of five or more units; corrects a drafting
error referencing a non-existent section and corrects a
cross-reference.
Prior Legislation
AB 341 (Chesbro, Chapter 476, Statutes of 2011), requires that
the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery ensure that
by January 1, 2020, 75% of the solid waste generated in
California is source reduced, recycled or composted.
Additionally, businesses, including commercial or public entity
sources or multifamily residences with five or more units
generating more than four cubic yards of commercial solid waste
must arrange for recycling services.
FISCAL EFFECT : Appropriation: No Fiscal Com.: Yes
Local: Yes
ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT : According to the author, "this bill
includes technical and clean-up language to recycling program
requirements enacted by AB 341(Chesbro, Chapter 476, Statutes of
2011)." The author states that, "in addition to codifying the
definition of 'commercial solid waste,' the bill corrects a
drafting error that cited Section 426492, rather than Section
42649.2, and corrects a cross-reference to ensure that the
definition of commercial waste generator is appropriately
referenced."
