California mandates recycling through AB 341 and SB 1383. Fillmore residents must separate recyclables and organic waste from trash. Commercial businesses generating 4+ cubic yards of waste per week must also recycle. The city participates in the statewide recycling program.
California AB 341 requires all jurisdictions including Fillmore to divert 75% of waste from landfills. Residential recycling is mandatory through the three-bin curbside system. SB 1383 adds organic waste recycling requirements effective statewide. Accepted recyclables: clean paper and cardboard, glass bottles and jars, aluminum and steel cans, and plastics marked #1-5 and #7. Not accepted: plastic bags, styrofoam, food-contaminated containers, ceramics, and textiles. Businesses generating 4 or more cubic yards of waste per week or multi-family properties with 5+ units must arrange for recycling service. Contaminated recycling (wrong items in the blue bin) is a statewide problem that Fillmore addresses through education. CalRecycle oversees compliance at the jurisdiction level.
Jurisdictions that fail to meet diversion goals face state penalties. Individual residents typically receive education rather than fines for recycling errors. Commercial businesses that fail to provide recycling may face state enforcement under AB 341.
