Recycling Rates for RPPCs

 

On September 16, 2004, Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law Senate Bill 1729 (Chesbro, Chapter 561, Statutes of 2004), which repeals the requirement for the Board to annually publish recycling rates for all RPPCs--the "all container rate"--and for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers. As of January 1, 2005, these rates are no longer available as a compliance option to regulated product manufacturers.
