Moorpark restaurants must follow California Senate Bill 1383 organic waste rules and may use reusable takeout containers under updated retail food code provisions. Single-use containers must comply with SB 54 phaseout schedules.
California Senate Bill 1383, the Short-Lived Climate Pollutants reduction law, requires all Moorpark restaurants and food generators to subscribe to organic waste collection service through Athens Services or another approved hauler. Food scraps, used napkins, and compostable containers must go in the green bin. Updated CalCode provisions allow customers to bring reusable containers for takeout when restaurants follow safe handling procedures. SB 54 phaseout rules govern single-use containers, requiring 65 percent recyclable or compostable by 2032. Edible food generators above defined thresholds must also donate surplus edible food to recovery organizations rather than discarding. Ventura County Public Health enforces food safety aspects of reusable container programs.
Failing to subscribe to organic waste collection or improperly disposing of food waste brings SB 1383 fines starting at $50, with administrative penalties up to $500 per day for ongoing serious violations.
