Reporting

To monitor compliance with the ordinance, annual reports must be submitted to ESD from:

  • Those providing recyclable material collection service. This includes franchise haulers and Certified Recyclable Material Collectors.
  • Apartments/condos or businesses that use non-certified recyclable material collectors or self-haul their recyclables. This excludes single-family and multi-family residents.
Reports must be submitted by August 15 of each year for the period of July 1 through June 30 of the immediately preceding 12-month period. For example, report by August 15, 2009 for July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009 period. The first reports are due on August 15, 2008 for apartment/condos and businesses required to begin recycling in February 2008. Properties that have a valid exemption from the requirements of the ordinance do not need to submit a report.

For apartments/condos and businesses:

  • If your recycling program is serviced by a franchise hauler or Certified Recyclable Material Collector, they will report on the service they provide to your facility so you do not need to submit a report. Check if your recycling service provider is a franchise hauler or certified collector here.
  • If your recycling program is NOT serviced by a franchise hauler or Certified Recyclable Material Collector (i.e., you use a non-Certified Recyclable Material Collector or an employee hauls recyclables to a recycling facility), you must fill out and submit a Self-Haul Reporting Form to ESD.
  • Self-Haul Reporting Form (PDF: 21K)
