Actividades realizadas o en vías de realización The California recycling bills (Assembly Bill 341 and 323) require big private and public businesses and multi-family residential places to arrange for recycling services when they generate more than four cubic yards of commercial solid waste per week. This law came into force in July 2012 and aims to reduce GHG emissions by diverting commercial organic waste from landfills and meet the target of 75 percent solid waste diversion by 2020. Furthermore, in February 2013, the government introduced a package of policies supporting the development of composting and anaerobic digestion facilities, identifying in them “a cost-effective technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
