Source separation means placing separating your recyclables, organics, and trash at the point of disposal. While it may seem like a small step, proper sorting reduces contamination and gives these items the best opportunity to be recycled or composted.
It also supports SB 1383 ➡️ When organics break down in landfills, they generate methane, a potent greenhouse gas. With source separation, we produce cleaner compost and recycling, reduce the amount of organics in landfills, AND support California's goals.
