§ 18815.5. Reporting Requirements for Transfer/Processors.
(A) From another transfer/processor, report the tons of each of the following streams: solid waste, disaster debris, designated waste, green material potential beneficial reuse, and all other potential beneficial reuse accepted from each facility. Report the sending facility's contact information and RDRS number, if applicable. If a reporting transfer/processor accepts solid waste or green material for potential beneficial reuse from another transfer/processor and the destinations to which the reporting transfer/processor will send those materials vary depending on the materials' respective jurisdictions of origin, then the reporting transfer/processor shall report the solid waste or green material for potential beneficial reuse as having been received via direct haul pursuant to subparagraph (B), using origin information provided by the transfer/processor from whom the reporting transfer/processor accepted the tons, pursuant to subdivision (h).
(B) For direct-hauled material, report the total aggregated tons of each of the following streams: solid waste, disaster debris, designated waste, green material potential beneficial reuse, and all other potential beneficial reuse. The tonnages for solid waste and green material potential beneficial reuse shall be further divided by jurisdiction of origin.
(C) Include accepted residuals generated by a recycling or composting facility or operation that is reporting under the same RDRS number as a transfer/processing facility or operation, pursuant to section 18815.3(d)(5) of this article, in the total tons accepted as direct-hauled, pursuant to subsection (1)(B), assigning the tons a jurisdiction of origin determined pursuant to section 18815.9(b)(2.4) of this article.
(ii) In cases where the final destination of the material is not determined by the reporting transfer/processor, if the broker or transporter receives the material within California, then report tons of each material type, pursuant to section 18815.9(a) of this article, sent to each broker or transporter and their contact information and RDRS number, if applicable.
(3) For materials of the recycling and composting, solid waste, disaster debris, designated waste, green material potential beneficial reuse, and non-green material for potential beneficial reuse streams, the tons of each stream sent to transfer/processors or disposal facilities inside or outside California shall be reported as follows:
(A) To each transfer/processor or disposal facility, report the tons of each stream, and their contact information and RDRS number, if applicable. Report the percentage of solid waste and green material potential beneficial reuse received from each transfer/processor, and the total percentage of materials that were direct-hauled, pursuant to subsection (a)(1)(B). The percentage that was direct-hauled shall be further divided into the jurisdictions of origin of solid waste and green material potential beneficial reuse.
(C) For all other material sent for potential beneficial reuse to a landfill or other transfer/processor inside or outside California, report the tons sent to each facility by material type, pursuant to section 18815.9(a)(1)(C) of this article, and the facility's contact information and RDRS number, if applicable.
(4) Notwithstanding paragraphs (2) and (3), commencing with reporting period 1 of 2025, for all tons of mixed plastic waste export, report the tons of each material type sent to each destination region, and report the tons sent from each jurisdiction of origin across all material types and destination regions.
(c) With the exception of reporting entities who fail to provide required information, for the purposes of RDRS reporting, the Department shall not require a transfer/processor to submit information regarding the identities of individual haulers when providing jurisdiction of origin, or source sector information to the Department as part of a quarterly report. The Department shall not require a transfer/processor to submit information regarding the identities of individual end users when providing material type or region to the Department as part of their report.
(1) A transfer/processing facility permitted pursuant to Article 1, commencing with section 44000.5, of Chapter 3 of Part 4 of Division 30 of the Public Resources Code that receives material from a “mixed waste organic collection stream” as defined in Section 17402(a)(11.5) of this division shall, for the purposes of determining the annual average organic content recovery rate for organic waste received from the mixed waste organic collection stream as specified in Sections 18984.3 and 17409.5.1 of this division, report the following to the Department:
(2) A transfer/processing facility permitted pursuant to Article 1, commencing with section 44000.5, of Chapter 3 of Part 4 of Division 30 of the Public Resources Code that receives material from a “source separated organic waste collection stream” as defined in Section 17402(a)(26.6) shall report the following to the Department:
(1) The Department shall determine recovery efficiency by dividing the total weight of recovered organic waste from the mixed waste organic collection stream reported in Subdivision (d)(1)(A) [Recovered Organics (RO)] by the combined total weight of recovered organic and disposed organic (DO) waste reported in Subdivision (d)(1)(A) and Subdivision (d)(1)(B) [RO + DO ]: RO/(RO + DO) = Mixed waste organic content recovery rate [Recovery Efficiency].
(2) For the purposes of section 18984.3 of this division, a facility's annual average mixed waste organic content recovery rate shall be the recovery efficiency, calculated using the total weights across the four quarters whose due dates pursuant to subdivision (b) have most recently elapsed. If the facility has not conducted and reported measurements for one or more of these four quarters due to a waiver granted pursuant to section 18984.13 of this division, then the Department may calculate the annual average mixed waste organic content recovery rate with the last four reported quarters. A new annual average shall be calculated each quarter.
(1) The Department shall determine recovery efficiency by dividing the total weight of recovered organic waste from the source separated organic collection stream reported in Subdivision (d)(2)(A) [Recovered Organics (RO)] by the combined total weight of recovered organic and disposed organic (DO) waste reported in Subdivision (d)(2)(A) and Subdivision (d)(2)(B) [RO + DO]: RO/(RO + DO) = Source separated organic content recovery rate [Recovery Efficiency].
(2) For the purposes of sections 18982(a)(14.5) and 18998.1 of this division, a facility's annual average source separated organic content recovery rate shall be the recovery efficiency, calculated using the total weights across the four quarters whose due dates pursuant to subdivision (b) have most recently elapsed. If the facility has not conducted and reported measurements for one or more of these four quarters due to a waiver granted pursuant to section 18984.13 of this division, then the Department may calculate the annual average mixed waste organic content recovery rate with the last four reported quarters. A new annual average shall be calculated each quarter.
(2) For all material sent for recycling or composting to a recycler, composter, transfer/processor, or disposal facility inside California, and for all material sent to a broker or transporter, provide to the destination facility the jurisdiction of origin for those tons, if requested by the destination facility.
