Confused about SB 1393? Here's how to figure out what's happening in your community regarding food waste collection and composting.
Confused about California’s new food waste rules that went into effect Jan. 1? Join the crowd.
Senate Bill 1383’s rules to keep food waste out of our landfills is a win-win-win if you think about the benefits: reducing methane emissions, creating soil-enriching compost and producing fuel.

Start by visiting your jurisdiction’s website to see what it says about food waste and SB 1383.
