The Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce is set to host an informational session on the new state-mandated organics recycling program in two weeks.

On Thursday, March 30 at 11 a.m., the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce is set to hold a free, virtual informational session on the new organics recycling program which will be mandated by the state starting in July.

The session will be hosted alongside the CIty of Santa Clarita and Burrtec Waste. Earlier this year, Burrtec was awarded with the new waste services franchise agreement for all residential and commercial waste services in the City of Santa Clarita.

“We are looking forward to hearing from the City and Burrtec on the upcoming changes and how
the state mandates will be implemented,” said Becki Robb, Chair of the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber Board.

The virtual informational session will cover the new state mandated organics recycling program, rate changes, cart color changes, food waste pails and enhanced waste services.

“It’s important for everyone to be aware of the upcoming changes as well as any additional charges businesses will face when the new changes are implemented.,” said Ivan Volschenk, President and CEO of the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber. “The Chamber is proud to continue to bring necessary and relevant information to our entire community, to make certain everyone is equipped with adequate information once the new contract begins.”

Business owners and residents are encouraged to send their questions in advance to the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber. After the presentation there will be time for community questions to be addressed.
