Section 12165 Of Article 2. Recycled Paper Products From California Public Contract Code >> Division 2. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 4. >> Article 2.
12165
. (a) After implementing a recycling plan pursuant to
subdivision (c) of Section 12164.5, the California Integrated Waste
Management Board shall establish, implement, and maintain a recycling
plan for the Legislature, which may include all legislative offices
and individual members' district offices; all state offices whether
in state-owned buildings or leased facilities in Sacramento, Los
Angeles, and San Francisco Counties; and in any other areas that the
board determines to be feasible. The plan shall include the
provisions for the recycling of office paper, corrugated cardboard,
newsprint, beverage containers (as defined in Section 14503 of the
Public Resources Code), waste oil, and any other material at the
discretion of the board.
(b) The collection program for each product and each location
shall be reevaluated by the board on or before January 1, 1994.
Subsequently, the board, upon the determination that inclusion of any
particular material type would result in a net revenue loss to the
state, shall have the discretion to exclude that material from the
program, and shall report its conclusions and recommendations to the
Legislature. In determining the net revenue loss for the collection
of a specified waste material, the board shall include the avoided
cost to dispose of the waste material. The plan shall provide either
for the collection and sale of materials to private brokers,
recycling plants, or nonprofit organizations, or the operation of
these entities by the state, or a combination thereof. The plan shall
be implemented at the earliest possible date.
(c) The board shall provide participating locations with public
awareness information and training to state and legislative
employees, including, but not limited to, the proper separation and
disposal of recyclable resources. Additionally, the board shall
provide training for personnel, including, but not limited to, state
buildings and grounds personnel, responsible for the collection of
waste materials. This training shall include, but is not limited to,
educating and training the personnel concerning the separation and
collection of recyclable materials.
(d) No individual, group of individuals, state office, agency, or
its employees shall establish a similar collection program or enter
into agreement for a similar program unless approved by the board.
