To remain exempt, state law requires you to submit written verification of eligibility to the City every five years. During each five-year exemption period, state law also requires that you notify the City any time the waste generated at your business exceeds the qualifying waste-generation amount for any waiver granted or of any other relevant changes. To apply for a waiver, please complete and submit the SB 1383 Waiver Request Form and any supportive documentation to the City of Diamond Bar, City Manager's Office, ATTENTION: Alfa Lopez, 21810 Copely Drive, Diamond Bar, CA 91765 1.Third-Party Waiver for Businesses/Properties with Landscape Contractors/Organics Recyclers •Businesses/properties that have organics recycling by a landscaper and/or other third-party recycler may apply. •Third-party recyclers must be authorized by the City to self-haul and report tonnages and disposal/recycling information to the City annually as required by state law. •Your business/property must agree to submit information to the City periodically to verify ongoing programs (e.g., service provider, material type, quantity recycled, and receiving facility). 2.Waiver for Businesses/Properties with Minimal Organic Waste (i.e., "De Minimis Waiver") •Businesses/properties that generate a limited amount of organic waste may apply for a low-generator "de minimis" waiver if they have: A)total solid waste collection of two cubic yards or more per week (i.e., equal to at least 12 large or 24 regular trash bags, or about two-thirds of a standard dumpster), and organic waste of less than 20 gallons per week (i.e., about 2 tall kitchen bags); or B)total solid waste collection of less than two cubic yards per week and collected organic waste of less than10 gallons per week. 3.Space Constraint Waiver •Businesses/properties lacking space for separate or additional green waste or food waste collection containers may request a space-constraint waiver. •To qualify, you must demonstrate that space constraints cannot be resolved by downsizing containers, using split containers, or other solutions. You must first work with the City to consider solutions to space constraints. •State regulations allow the City to waive compliance only if the City's own staff, a licensed architect, or a licensed engineer confirms the lack of adequate container space. Beginning January 1, 2022, California Senate Bill (SB) 1383 requires all businesses and multi-family properties to arrange for organic waste recycling services (i.e., for food waste, green waste (landscape and pruning waste), nonhazardous wood waste, paper products, and food-soiled paper that is mixed in with food waste). Certain businesses and multifamily complexes of five units or more may qualify for waivers from these mandatory programs; however, only those who have requested and received a waiver from the City can avoid mandated participation. If a waiver is not approved by the City, your business or property will be required to participate in mandated services.
