California SB 1383 (2016) requires all jurisdictions, including Delano, to provide organic-waste collection service to residents and businesses and to divert 75% of organic waste from landfills by 2025.
Residents must subscribe to organics-collection service and separate food scraps and yard waste from trash. Businesses generating organic waste are required to subscribe to organics service and donate edible food (Tier 1 generators since 2022, Tier 2 since 2024). Delano contracts with its franchise hauler for collection. CalRecycle enforces noncompliance.
Tier-1 commercial fines up to $100/day initial, $1,000/day for continuing violations under 14 CCR §18997.2.
