Sample Commercial Recycling Ordinance
The sample commercial recycling ordinance was prepared in 2009 by the Institute for Local Government’s California Climate Action Network under a contract with the California Integrated Waste Management Board (now CalRecycle).
Adoption and implementation of the sample ordinance by local agencies is voluntary.
The sample ordinance emphasizes policy choices at the local level and is designed to be modified by individual agencies to reflect the unique circumstances in the community. It offers a menu of options to suit local needs and service situations. In addition, it includes extensive commentary that explains the options and provides background explanations for many provisions.
The sample ordinance is available at the right in both Word and pdf versions.
