Background Information:
The Tehama County Solid Waste Management Agency (Agency) AB 341 Physical Space Exemption Policy (Policy) will provide commercial entities required to comply with Assembly Bill 341 an exemption should they lack adequate space for at least a 1-cubic yard recycling dumpster.
While all commercial entities within Tehama County are provided at least a 95-gallon recycling cart with their waste service, often it is not enough. However, some commercial entities have strict rules about dumpsters only being allowed within a designated dumpster enclosure. Many of these enclosures are only large enough to house one dumpster, which ends up being the entity’s trash dumpster. When this is the case, the Policy will allow them to be exempt from complying with AB 341 based on a lack of physical space for a recycling dumpster.
