California’s limited-service restaurants next year will be required to offer customers a separate recycling bin to toss organic waste under a new law signed by the governor earlier this month.
Restaurants across the state that generate more than four cubic yards per week of solid waste or eight cubic yards per week of organic waste are already required to separate food waste from the back of the house and arrange for recycling services. But this will be the first time the state will require bins to collect post-consumer food waste and food-soiled paper in the front of the house, alongside solid-waste recycling and trash bins.
