Commercial Recycling
State recycling law, the California Integrated Waste Management Act of 1989 (AB 939), as amended, requires cities and counties to reduce, reuse and recycle solid waste generated in the state to the maximum extent feasible before disposal of waste, to conserve water, energy and other natural resources, and to protect the environment.
The California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, Assembly Bill 32 (AB 32), requires all businesses to implement a Commercial Recycling Program.
Commercial waste contributes about 60% to our landfills. Recycling commercial materials is essential for the City to meet its recycling requirement. The effort you make in changing how you sort your waste helps the City of Stockton reach the diversion goal and contributes toward Stockton's efforts in preserving a healthy planet by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
