WASTE PREVENTION D
PREVENTION IS KEY!
While recycling is great, reducing your consumption (or waste prevention)
is even better! Waste prevention is the most environmentally preferable Use less... buy less... avoid waste... turn off lights...
take shorter showers... carpool!
means to reduce waste entering our landfills. The best way to prevent
waste is to make purchases with REDUCE and REUSE in mind.
Use things more than once... use cloth shopping bags...
repair... regift... try travel mugs... compost!
REDUCE
• Purchase items with minimal packaging, such as purchasing food
items in bulk rather than individually packaged. Separate waste materials so that the recyclable products
• Stop unwanted junk mail by following the simple steps outlined below. can be transformed into something new!
• Think twice before printing, and print on both sides of the
paper whenever possible.
• Patronize thrift shops, secondhand stores, or even
antique stores instead of always buying new.
Another way to prevent waste is through reuse!
REUSE
• Swap out your single-use items for reusable items to reduce your waste. For example, rechargeable
batteries, cloth napkins instead of paper, cloth rags and towels instead of paper towels, plastic food
storage containers instead of plastic baggies, reusable water bottles instead of single-use plastic
bottles, and reusable shopping bags instead of plastic bags. Best of all, reusing items often saves you
money as well as keeping materials out of landfills!
• Don’t buy fertilizer every year for your garden, reuse your food/yard waste by creating your own
compost. Learn more about making your own compost on page 16.
• Donate your gently used items to thrift shops and local charities so they can be
reused by somebody else. Donation centers are listed on page 7.
• Drop-off your used motor oil and oil filters at one of the Certified Collection Centers
listed on page 10 so the oil can be re-refined and reused over and over again.
Remember, your purchases matter

BEVERAGE CONTAINERS
$
Californians don’t have to go out of their way to recycle. There are 1,572 recycling centers
statewide that buy back empty California Refund Value (CRV) beverage containers, most
conveniently located near places you live and work. Most beverages other than milk, wine
and distilled spirits are subject to CRV.
Important Consumer Refund Info!
You can get your beverage recycling refunds on a per-container basis instead of by weight.
• By law, you can bring up to 50 aluminum, 50 glass, 50 plastice, and 50 bi-metal California
Redemption Value (CRV) containers and request to be paid by count. Inform the site attendant of
your load content and how you would like to receive payment before you hand over your load.
• Any consumer who has been denied this right by a recycling center can file a complaint via email or
by calling 1-800-RECYCLE.
• If recycling more than 50 containers of any one material type, the decision to pay by count or weight
is determined by the recycling center operator. Make sure your containers are whole and free of
contaminants such as dirt, excessive liquid or other foreign substances. If
you are being paid by weight, make sure the load contains only eligible CRV
beverage containers.
• Daily load limits of empty CRV beverage containers are 100 pounds each
for aluminum and plastic, and 1,000 pounds of glass. If the load includes
containers not eligible for CRV, the recycling center must either reject the
load or pay only scrap value.

Businesses generate nearly 70% of the solid waste in California.
MANDATORY BUSINESS RECYCLING & COMPOSTING
AB 1826
Mandatory Organics Recycling Law
Starting January 1, 2019, AB 1826 will require businesses, non-profit organizations,
multifamily buildings, schools, and government entities that generate 4 cubic
yards or more of solid waste to arrange for composting. The intent of the law
is to significantly reduce the amount of food scraps and green waste currently
sent to landfill.
How to achieve compliance:
The requirement can be met in the following ways:
• Sign up for composting service by having your food scraps and green waste
hauled away for composting. Contact City of Manteca Solid Waste Division at
(209) 456-8440 for more information. What is Organic Waste?
• Compost on-site. For helpful resources and information on
regulations, visit https://calrecycle.ca.gov/organics compostmulch The state denes “organics” as food,

AB 341
Mandatory Commercial Recycling Law
Effective July 1, 2012, commercial organizations and establishments that produce
4 cubic yards or more of commercial solid waste per week are required to recycle.
How to achieve compliance:
Businesses can do any combination of the following in order to reuse, recycle,
or otherwise divert solid waste from landfill:
• Self-haul to a recycling facility.
• Sign up for recycling service by having your recyclables hauled away.

• Make other arrangements for the pickup of recyclable materials.
SB 1383
Short-Lived Climate Pollutants
Signed into law by Governor Brown in 2016, SB 1383 mandates statewide actions to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions and air pollution. The bill establishes two main targets:
1. By 2020, reduce the organic waste disposal in landfills by 50% from the 2014 level, and
2. By 2025, reduce the organic waste disposal in landfills by 75% from the 2014 level. By this point, no less
than 20% of edible food currently disposed must also be recovered for human consumption.
Although there is still quite some time to meet the reduction targets, SB 1383 serves as the regulatory
force behind both AB 341 and AB 1826, and it imposes heavy fines and penalties for noncompliance.
Please make sure your business is in compliance with the two mandatory recycling and composting laws
listed on this page to prevent risk of incurring fines.

Plates, bowls, cups, utensils, bags, or other food service ware that are “made from plants”,
“biodegradable”, or “compostable” are not accepted in the green carts. They cannot be composted
and must instead be placed in garbage because they take too long to break down.
Please choose reusable items whenever possible, or otherwise try to use disposable items as little as
possible. See our Lifestyle section on page 6 for some ideas for decreasing your waste!

NEWS FLASH: THE MORE YOU RECYCLE - THE MORE YOU SAVE
Remember to place all carts in the gutter the night before your scheduled pick up day. All carts
should be 3 feet apart and at least 5 feet from any parked vehicles. All carts must also be removed
from the gutter within 24 hours after pick up. There is a City Ordinance against leaving them out
any longer. Violators are subject to fines up to $300.
RENTAL BINS
The Solid Waste Division rents bins for up to 2 weeks at a time. There
are forms that need to be filled out ahead of time. Call (209) 456-8440
to schedule delivery, make payments and fill out the forms.
We also rent commercial roll-off bins; 10cyd, 16cyd, 20cyd, 30cyd, and
40cyd. These are rented with a deposit taken up front.
Once the bin is pulled the first time, a fee of $325.17 plus the current
landfill tipping fee is charged and taken out of the deposit. Any
remaining funds are refunded. Outstanding funds are billed.
Roll-off rentals and extra dumps should be scheduled with at least a
one day lead time notice. No same day service.

the next. Free of charge.

them to the Solid Waste Office.
They must be contained in a 1qt. Red Sharps Disposal Containers.
The Solid Waste Division will give you a new container when you drop one off for
disposal. (When available). They also have needle clipping devices upon request.
All sharps containers are shipped to a facility where they are ground up and
recycled into road base.

the Solid Waste Corp Yard, located at 210 E. Wetmore St. One event is in
