City of Anderson Compliance Updates:
The City of Anderson is currently working towards compliance with the solid waste laws AB 341, AB 1826, and SB 1383, imposed by the state agency, Calrecycle . Full compliance of businesses having recycling collection (AB 341) is the City's primary goal. The City has sent out letters to the businesses who are not compliant, and between January and March of 2024, site visits will be conducted to determine whether service at the location is needed, or if a wavier for the business will suffice. Compliance for businesses and residents having organics recycling (AB 1826 and SB 1383) is the City's secondary goal.
