§ 18838. Implementation of Commercial Recycling Program by Jurisdictions.
(a) Effective July 1, 2012, whether or not the jurisdiction has met the requirements of Section 41780, each jurisdiction shall implement a commercial recycling program appropriate for that jurisdiction which is designed to divert commercial solid waste generated by businesses and that consists of the following components:
(2) The commercial recycling program shall include identification and monitoring of businesses to assess if they are complying with § 18837(a). If any businesses subject to these regulations are not in compliance with these provisions, the jurisdiction shall, at a minimum, notify those businesses that they are out of compliance.
(b) The commercial recycling program adopted pursuant to Subdivision (a) may include, but is not limited to, implementing a commercial recycling policy or ordinance requiring businesses to recycle, requiring a mandatory commercial recycling program through a franchise agreement or contract, or requiring that commercial solid waste from businesses go through either a source separated or mixed waste processing system that diverts material from disposal.
(3) Exemptions deemed appropriate by the jurisdiction for reasons such as, but not limited to, zoning requirements, lack of sufficient space in multi-family complexes to provide additional recycling bins, lack of markets, non-generation of recyclable materials, or current implementation by a business of actions that result in recycling of a significant portion of its commercial waste.
(g) If, in order to satisfy the requirements of this Chapter, a jurisdiction must implement a new, or expand an existing, commercial recycling program, it shall not be required to revise its source reduction and recycling element nor comply with the requirements of Public Resources Code § 41800 et seq.
(h) The jurisdiction shall include the addition or expansion of a commercial recycling program in its Annual Report required by § 41821, et seq. of the Public Resources Code. Each jurisdiction shall report the progress achieved in implementing its commercial recycling program, including education, outreach, identification and monitoring, and, if applicable, enforcement efforts, and the rationale for allowing exemptions, by providing updates in its Annual Report.
