BACKGROUND

The proposed mandatory commercial recycling regulation will
reduce greenhouse gases by focusing waste reduction within the
commercial sector and requiring businesses and multifamily units
of 5 units or more that produce four cubic yards or more of solid
waste per week to recycle.  Recycled materials can include, but
are not limited to paper, plastics, glass, metals, cardboard,
organics, food waste, and construction and demolition materials. 
The GHG emissions reductions goal for this measure is estimated
to be 5 MMTCO2e.
