California Recycling Mandate
Mandatory Commercial Organics Recycling - AB 1826
In October 2014, California passed Assembly Bill 1826 requiring all businesses, including multi-family dwellings, to recycle their organic waste. By January 1, 2016, all California jurisdictions were required to implement an organics recycling program, and by April 1, 2016, all businesses that generated at least 8 cubic yards of organic waste per week were required to recycle that material.
Organics waste includes food scraps, green waste, landscape and pruning waste, non-hazardous food waste and paper waste that has been soiled with food.
As the leading local recycling and waste services company, Athens Services has developed a strategic plan to educate, collect, and recycle all organics waste produced by our customers. Questions? Visit the Athens Services website for more information.

Mandatory Commercial Recycling - AB 341
If you are an Athens Services customer, then YES – you are compliant with AB 341! Athens Services is at the forefront of recycling, investing in the facilities and technology that improve our environment and prepare our communities for the future.
In October 2011, Governor Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill (AB) 341 into law, setting a 75% recycling goal for California by the year 2020. This landmark piece of legislation mandated that all California commercial or public entities that generate 4 or more cubic yards of solid waste per week, and multifamily dwellings of 5 or more units, must arrange recycling services. Jurisdictions determined compliance measures and due dates.
The law required commercial waste generators to implement a recycling program, and all Athens customers have a compliant program. We make recycling convenient for our customers by utilizing a single bin. Our advanced Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) enables us to separate recyclables from waste to ensure AB 341 compliance. As a result, our customers enjoy the benefits of the most convenient, efficient, and economical single bin recycling method. For more information, visit the Athens Services website.
