Understanding California Legislation and Programs for Sustainable Resource Management
In this course, Angela Vincent will:

Clarify the role of various stakeholders, including CalRecycle, the California EPA, local municipalities, haulers and recyclers, and waste generators

California has been a leader in developing effective waste and recycling policies since the landmark AB 939 in 1989 that required jurisdictions to divert 50 percent of their waste from landfill. Fast forward over three decades later, our state stands at a 37 percent recycling rate. In this course, you will learn about the history of waste and recycling laws in California, identify key recycling challenges we face today, and explore various policy tools to achieve zero waste. The legislative process will be demystified as you learn about the various stakeholders and catalysts for change.
We hope to see you on 11/12 from 11am-1pm for this LIVE, Virtual Course with plenty of time for Q&A.
