MANDATORY ORGANIC RECYCLING
South Pasadena officials
reminder, Is your business
or multifamily complex
compliant?
The City of South Pasadena,
in conjunction with its trash
hauler, Athens Services,
has established an organic
waste recycling program in
compliance with Assembly Bill
1826 (AB 1826), which calls
for mandatory commercial
and multifamily organics
recycling to be phased in.
This law phases in the
mandatory recycling of
commercial organics over
time, with the minimum
threshold of organic waste
generation decreasing over
time.
January 1, 2019 - generators
of 4 cubic yards or more of
solid waste per week
California disposes of
approximately 30 million tons
of waste in landfills each year,
of which more than 30 percent
could be used for compost or
mulch. Mandatory recycling
of organic waste is the
next step toward achieving
California’s aggressive
recycling and greenhouse
gas emission goals. Assembly
Bill 1826 addresses this issue
by requiring businesses
generating 4 or more cubic
yards of solid waste per
week to arrange for organics
recycling services for the
following types of organic
waste: food waste, green
waste, landscape and pruning
waste, nonhazardous wood
waste, and food-soiled paper.
Multifamily complexes with
5 or more units must also
arrange for organics recycling
services for the same material
with the exception of food
waste and food-soiled paper.
Organics recycling can be
accomplished by:
Subscribing to Athens
Services’ source separated
organic waste collection and
recycling service which is
provided in wheeled 64-gallon
carts or larger compactors;
and/or
Self-hauling organic waste off
site for recycling.
To subscribe to Athens
Services’ organic waste
collection service, call: (888)
336-6100.
Exemptions may be issued if
any of the following criteria
are met:
Lack of sufficient space to
provide additional organic
material recycling bins.
Existing business actions
(such as food donation) that
result in the recycling of
a significant portion of its
organic waste.
The business generates less
than one-half (0.5) of a cubic
yard of organic waste per
week.
