15. TUSTIN CITY CODE UPDATE - SOLID WASTE CHAPTER Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) was signed into law on September 19, 2016 and established methane emissions reduction targets in a statewide effort to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants in various sectors of California's economy. As it pertains to solid waste, SB 1383 seeks to reduce the amount of organic waste in landfills as methane is a byproduct of the decomposition of organic material. SB 1383 places a variety of mandates on local jurisdictions including the provision of organics and recycling collection programs to all properties within Tustin and updating the Tustin City Code to require that each property subscribe to and fully participate in these programs.
