Organic Waste Management
Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery (MDRR) and the City of Oakley continue to partner on the implementation of Senate Bill 1383, Short-lived climate pollutants. SB 1383 went into effect on January 1, 2022, and makes it mandatory for every city in California to provide organics recycling. Organics recycling includes food scraps, food-soiled paper, and yard waste.
The intent of SB 1383 is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting food waste from being landfilled. Organics recycling is now mandatory for businesses and residences, unless eligible for a waiver.
Educational materials and Frequently Asked Questions are available through MDRR’s website.
