How can I divert this waste so my business is in compliance with the law?

Businesses can meet diversion requirements through one or more of these actions:

  • Schedule a free Less to Landfill waste assessment to identify how you can reduce waste
  • Arrange for green waste recycling services with Waste Management (1-866-WMRECYCLE)
  • Donate surplus food to local food banks and pantries
  • Explore on-site composting options with support from Solana Center for Environmental Innovation
  • Self-haul landscape trimmings off-site to a compost/mulch facility
  • Separate organic waste for collection and disposal by an organic waste recycling service, with guidance from Solana Center
  • Request an exemption as allowed by the state from the City
