Recycling is mandatory in Menifee under California state law. SB 1383 requires every resident and business to subscribe to organics collection; AB 341 requires recycling for businesses generating 4+ cubic yards/week of solid waste and multifamily buildings of 5+ units; AB 1826 mandates organics recycling for covered commercial generators.
Menifee's franchise with Waste Management provides a 3-cart system that satisfies California's stacked recycling mandates: AB 341 (PRC §42649 et seq., effective 2012) requires businesses generating 4+ cubic yards/week and multifamily complexes of 5+ units to arrange recycling service; AB 1826 (PRC §42649.8 et seq., effective 2016 with phased thresholds) requires the same generators to arrange organics recycling; and SB 1383 (PRC §42652 et seq., effective Jan 1, 2022) extends organics recycling to all residents and businesses regardless of size, requires edible-food recovery from large generators (Tier 1 and Tier 2), and authorizes jurisdictions to impose administrative penalties of $50–$500 per violation for non-compliance. CalRecycle enforces statewide; the city audits and reports tonnage. Contamination of recycling or organics carts (placing trash in the blue or green cart) may incur a fee from WM and is a violation under the franchise.
Per SB 1383 (14 CCR §18997.2), jurisdictions may impose administrative penalties of $50–$100 (first violation), $100–$200 (second), and $250–$500 (third+) for failing to subscribe to organics service, contamination, or other compliance failures.
