California Waste Regulations: Where to Start

Commercial recycling, organics collection, packaging producer responsibility and recycling label claims address different business activities. A recycling program does not automatically satisfy packaging or labeling obligations.

Start with your role

For facility operations, review AB 341, AB 1826 and SB 1383 collection requirements with the local jurisdiction. For products and packaging sold into California, have your packaging and legal teams evaluate SB 54 producer duties and SB 343 labeling rules.

Current qualifications

SB 54 permanent regulations took effect May 1, 2026. CalRecycle reports a July 2026 injunction blocking SB 343 enforcement. Read the specific guides and official updates before acting.

Prepare for a discussion

Bring facility locations, waste streams, service agreements, packaging specifications and existing documentation. ICTV can discuss applicable waste program services; this overview does not determine your legal obligations.
