Background

On June 23, 2009, Mayor Newsom signed the Mandatory Recycling & Composting Ordinance into law.  The Ordinance requires:

1)         all persons located in San Francisco to separate recyclables, compostables, and landfilled trash – and to participate in recycling and composting programs;

2)         provide enforcement mechanisms and penalties for violations;

3)         ensure that all properties subscribe to refuse collection service; and

4)         authorize a Department of Public Health inspection fee of $167 per hour and making environmental findings and setting an operative date.

 [Note:  The operative date went into effect in September ’09; penalties for improper sorting will not be assessed until 07-01-2011, but penalties may be assessed for not instituting and maintaining adequate compliance programs.]

What does this mean for your operations?
