Multi-Unit Property Owners/Managers
SB 1383 introduces specific requirements for multi-unit properties to enhance waste management practices and support California’s environmental goals.
Here’s how the requirements impact you
Container Requirements
If you manage a property where the waste service is billed to you, you must provide recycling and organics (green bin*) containers at central locations for tenants to use.
Tenant Responsibilities
If tenants are responsible for their own waste services, you must ensure they subscribe to recycling and organics (green bin*) services.
Tenants should sort their waste into:
- Green for organics (food scraps and plant trimmings)
- Blue for recyclables
- Gray for trash
Education Mandates
You are required to provide annual education to both employees and tenants on how to sort waste properly. Additionally, you must inform new tenants about waste sorting within 14 days of their move-in.
Compliance Monitoring
Regular checks and updates on the proper sorting of waste containers are essential to meet compliance and support waste diversion efforts.
*Note: Some haulers may have another color bin. If you live in a rural area or mountain community, you may be exempt from having to separate your food waste. For more information, contact your solid waste hauler.
