Bill	Solid waste: reduction and recycling.	(1) Existing law requires the State Air Resources Board to complete, approve, and implement a comprehensive strategy to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants in the state to reduce statewide methane emissions by 40% below 2013 levels by 2030. Existing law requires methane emissions reduction goals to include specified targets to reduce the landfill disposal of organics. Existing law requires the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, in consultation with the state board, to adopt regulations that achieve those targets for reducing organic waste in landfills, as provided. The department's organic waste regulations provide different organic waste procurement targets for local jurisdictions based on population and provide waivers and exemptions from collection and procurement requirements for rural, low-population, and high-elevation jurisdictions. Existing law provides that the exemption for rural jurisdictions is valid until December 31, 2026, as specified. The department's organic waste regulations establish collection bin lid color requirements for waste collection services to identify the types of waste to be placed into a collection bin.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20232024	AB 2902	California AB 2902 (20232024)	bill	Solid waste reduction and recycling	enacted	Wood	8	30	10	2024-02-15	2024-09-22	openstates	ocd-bill/585fc29d-0067-403e-bc4c-7ac8a0da9183	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB2902	317eea851c315313fe741eeb50dc1ddc9aff98537ec683543ac2cbb92afd6d74	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
