Diversion Goals

New Senate Bill 1383:

Under California Senate Bill 1383, effective January 1st, 2022 all public schools and school districts must subscribe to an organic waste collection service. Administrators will be working towards educating school district staff about organic waste prevention and how to properly sort materials into correct containers. School staff will be required to properly sort their organic waste into the correct containers.

Organic waste includes food, green material, landscape and pruning waste.

Goals within SB 1383:

Effective Date: January 1st 2022

Enforcement required: January 1st 2024

First Goal: 75% Reduction in Organics by January 1st 2025

Second Goal: 20% Increase in Edible Food Recovery by January 1st 2025

What does this all mean for District sites?

The District will be working with our Vendors to bring green and food waste bins to all locations, along with training programs to help everyone learn how to sort all materials properly. These changes will be occurring over the course of the next two years to help the District come into compliance with these regulations quickly and effectively.
