MarBorg Industries & Heal the Ocean thank everyone for joining us in our campaign to keep Styrofoam out of the waste stream – and the ocean.

In 2014, the State of California adopted Assembly Bill No. 1826, a mandatory commercial organics recycling law that took effect in 2016. “Organic waste” means food waste, green waste, landscape and pruning waste, nonhazardous wood waste, and food-soiled paper that is mixed in with food waste.

How this affects you: As of January 1, 2019 it is the law that businesses that generate four cubic yards of solid waste per week must recycle their organic waste. If this applies to you, or if you are unsure, please contact Sarah Stark at [email protected] or (805) 963-1852 if you are located in the cities of Goleta or Buellton, or contact Thomas Chiarodit at [email protected] or (805) 882-3624 if you are located elsewhere in the County of Santa Barbara.
