California law now requires businesses to recycle (Assembly Bill 341). All businesses that produce four or more cubic yards of trash (equal to 1 dumpster) per week must arrange for recycling services. You must contact the City of Irvine or its recycling consultant, SCS Engineers, for assistance in complying with this law and implementing a recycling program. SCS can provide a free waste analysis to determine the required trash and recycling services for your business. You can also check with SCS to see if you are eligible to receive recycling service free of charge. |
