LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 14, as introduced, Blakespear.
Solid waste: recycling: state agencies and large state facilities.
Existing law requires the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery to develop and adopt requirements relating to adequate areas for collecting, storing, and loading recyclable materials in state buildings. Existing law requires the department to develop guidance for collecting and recycling recyclable materials in office buildings of state agencies and large state facilities, as provided, and requires, at least once each year, a covered state agency and large state facility to review the adequacy and condition of receptacles for recyclable material and of associated signage, education, and staffing.
This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the latter provision.
