California's SB 1383 organics law applies statewide, but Del Norte County is a CalRecycle-recognized rural jurisdiction (population under 70,000) and adopted a resolution waiving the organic waste collection mandate. The rural exemption was later extended; food-recovery and procurement duties still apply.
