CY 2026 ROWP Memorandum
December 29, 2025
TO: City of Diamond Bar
City Manager’s Office
Attn: Tara Reyes, Management Analyst
FROM: Waste Management
SUBJECT: Senate Bill 1383 Recovered Organic Waste Product (ROWP) Procurement CY 2026
The Short-Lived Climate Pollutants law, Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), requires cities and counties to
procure products made from recovered organic waste and comply with State-established
procurement targets.
Waste Management (WM), as the City of Diamond Bar’s Franchised Commercial Waste Hauler and
pursuant to §6.4.8 of the Franchise Agreement (FA), WM will procure the ROWPs for Calendar Year
2026 through the following approach:
1) Procurement Credits. WM will secure procurement credits on behalf of the City to satisfy
SB 1383 purchasing requirements through the sale of material. This transaction will be
managed entirely by WM, at its sole expense, and documented to meet CalRecycle
reporting standards, with no liability to the City.
Through procurement credits, WM plans to provide 1,814.94 tons of ROWP for Calendar Year 2026
to meet the 40% requirement stipulated in the Franchise Agreement.
Please reach out to Josh Goldman, jgoldman@wm.com (626) 825-3785, with any questions.
