However, if not hauled an processed by a permitted food waste recycling company like Emadco Disposal, 100% would be sent to a landfill. What happens to Organic Waste? The collected material is brought to a compost facility, where it is processed into nutrient rich compost for agricultural end-users. Background and Overview Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383) is California’s current law requiring the reduction and recycling of organic waste statewide. It replaces and expands on the earlier AB 1826 law, applying to nearly all businesses, multifamily properties, and residents. SB 1383 sets ambitious goals to cut the amount of organic material sent to landfills by 75 percent (from 2014 levels) and to recover 20 percent of edible food for human consumption by 2025. Organic waste includes food scraps, green waste, landscape trimmings, non-hazardous wood, and food-soiled paper. Cities and counties must provide organics collection services and ensure compliance. Businesses and multifamily dwellings must either use these services or self-haul their organics to approved facilities.

Sharps Drop Off Emadco has a 24-hour sharps drop off location conveniently located at: 40287 Oak Park Way Oakhurst, CA 93644 Protect yourself, your neighbors and our workers by properly disposing of medical waste. Improper sharps disposal can affect janitors, maids, pest control workers, groundskeepers, waste management workers, and children or household pets among others. Roughly 25% to 45% of all facilities processing household trash (besides recycling) in California have workers hand-sorting recyclable material out of that trash. A single worker’s on-the-job needlestick can mean weeks of taking drugs to prevent the spread of infection, with side effects including nausea, depression, and extreme fatigue as well as months waiting for expensive periodic tests to reveal whether they contracted life-threatening HIV/AIDs or hepatitis B or C. A 2008 study suggested that "nationwide each year 25%... or roughly 150,000 to 200,000 needlesticks occurred outside the health services industry for a cost of $38 million." The Law State law (H&SC §118286) makes it illegal to dispose of home-generated sharps waste (hypodermic needles, pen needles, intravenous needles, lancets, and other devices that are used to penetrate the skin for the delivery of medications) in the trash or recycling containers, and requires that all sharps waste be transported to a collection center in a sharps container approved by the local enforcement agency.
