View Burrtec's guide below to find the answer and see more items you can put in your residential recycle bin.
Mandatory Commercial Recycling
State legislation (AB 341) mandates that all businesses and public entities that generate (4) cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week and multifamily residential dwellings of (5) units or more arrange for recycling services. Businesses can choose one or any combination of the following in order to reuse, recycle, compost or otherwise divert solid waste from disposal:
- Subscribe to Burrtec for recycling services
- Self-haul recyclables to a recycling center
- Arrange for the pickup of recyclable materials
- Subscribe mixed-waste processing services

Mandatory Organics Recycling
Californians throw away nearly 6 million tons of food scraps or food waste each year. This represents about 18 percent of all the material that goes to landfills.
State legislation (AB 1826) mandates businesses, public entities and multifamily residential dwellings of (5) units or more, generating 4-cubic yards or more of solid waste, to establish and maintain commercial organics recycling service. Organic waste means food waste, green waste, landscape and pruning waste, nonhazardous wood waste, and food-soiled paper waste that is mixed in with food waste. Multifamily residential dwellings only need to recycle green waste (not food waste).
