CalRecycle releases SB 1383 draft model tools for local governments

Sep 21, 2020
The model tools are drafts until the Office of Administrative Law approves the SB 1383 regulations.
 
The model tools include a model franchise agreement, model mandatory organic waste disposal reduction ordinance, model procurement policy, and model edible food recovery agreement. These tools are highly customizable, allowing for consideration of an individual jurisdiction’s particular needs or circumstances.
 
Even though the SB 1383 regulations do not go into effect until Jan. 1, 2022, jurisdictions must begin planning now. To assist with this effort, CalRecycle continues to publish resources to provide jurisdictions with education and outreach tools. The League will continue to work with CalRecycle to distribute information related to SB 1383 to our member cities.
 
In addition to these model tools, CalRecycle has provided other education and outreach materials. These materials include overviews of SB 1383’s Organic Waste Reduction Requirements though PowerPoint, Word, and video format. The CalRecycle SB 1383 webpage also provides case studies on franchise agreements, enforcement ordinances, edible food, and procurement. Additionally, CalRecycle recently released a new guidance document outlining the proposed compliance process.
