This library was developed to assist California jurisdictions with Integrated Waste Management Act compliance. It includes Board-developed assistance documents and examples of materials submitted to the Board by local jurisdictions. The library is not the only place to access these materials--they are referred to throughout Local Government Central. This library may be a convenient place to begin your search if you know the specific resource you are looking for.

Browse the library using the topics below (also listed on the main menu to your left):

  • Basics
    This section includes a series of "fact sheets" to help local government officials and others understand and fulfill their responsibilities with regard to California's Integrated Waste Management Act.
  • Board Guidance Documents
    This section of the library provides guidance and information produced by the Board, staff, jurisdictions and others in meeting the requirements of the Integrated Waste Management Act.
  • infoCycling
    A Board-sponsored quarterly newsletter providing time- and cost-reducing tools and information that can assist local government, State agency, and large State facilities in evaluating their current diversion performance.
  • Local Government Data Tools
    The Board provides a number of databases, tools and information to assist local government (as well as businesses) to reduce disposal, conserve resources, and help California meet its waste reduction goals.
  • Model Documents
    Board staff has developed a series of models and templates to assist jurisdictions when reporting to the Board and quantifying their diversion efforts.
  • Local Jurisdiction Case Studies
    This section of Local Government Central lists successful diversion programs developed by the Board or implemented by California jurisdictions.
  • Local Jurisdiction Waste Diversion and Recycling Outreach Materials
    The Board's intent is to be a clearinghouse for jurisdiction outreach materials. These links and PDF files will lead you to various waste diversion and recycling outreach materials created by California jurisdictions. Outreach materials may include brochures, fact sheets, pamphlets, newsletters, handouts, and other publications that promote recycling, reuse, and waste reduction.
  • Local Jurisdiction Sample Documents
    The reference library includes materials that have been submitted to us by local jurisdictions, including documents such as regional agency agreements, joint powers agreements, memoranda of understanding, solid waste ordinances, public education materials, and petitions for reduction in diversion mandates.
  • Local and Regional Summaries and Statistics Center
    Jurisdiction and regional summary information helps decision makers identify trends, solve problems, and compare the performance of cities, counties, and regional agencies in reducing and diverting waste.
  • Need Help?
    The help section provides the user with tools to search the site, define terms, look up publications, and ask questions about waste issues.
