AB 2176On October 29, 2004 Governor Schwarzenegger signed AB 2176 (Montanez) regarding waste reduction at large venues and events. The new law requires the largest venue facilities and events (as defined) in each city and county to begin planning for solid waste reduction, and annually report the progress of their recycling and waste reduction programs to their local government. The law also directs the California Integrated Waste Management Board to provide guidance and assistance to venues and local governments in meeting their obligations. Starting November 1, 2004, this site will feature more specific information about the new law and the Board’s assistance program. In the meantime, please explore the many waste reduction tools and resources already on this site.
