WHAT IS THE COMMISSION?

​

In 2019, Governor Newsom signed into law The California Recycling Market Development Act (AB 1583, Eggman, Chapter 690, Statutes of 2019). Section 42005.5 requires CalRecycle to convene by July 1, 2020, a Statewide Commission on Recycling Markets and Curbside Recycling consisting of representative of public agencies, private solid waste enterprises, and environmental organizations that have expertise in recycling. 

​

You can email AB1583Commission@CalRecycle.ca.gov if you have questions or if you are interested in contributing to the goals of the Statewide Commission.
