<br /> <br />DRAFT – June 15, 2021 | Page 37 <br />THE CITY OF PLEASANTON <br />SB 1383 ACTION PLAN <br />2021 ─ 2025 <br />3.5 Edible Food Recovery <br /> <br />3.5 Edible Food Recovery <br />3.5.1 Program Summary <br />As a result of SB 1383, jurisdictions must implement a food recovery program to support <br />the upstream solution of recovering edible food for human consumption rather than <br />landfill disposal. SB 1383 requires that entities categorized as Tier One and Tier Two <br />Commercial Edible Food Generators enter into a written agreement with food recovery <br />organizations and services and recover the maximum amount of edible food beginning <br />January 1, 2022 for Tier One and January 1, 2024 for Tier Two (see call-out box to right <br />for definitions of the tiers). The City is responsible for identifying Tier One and Tier Two <br />Commercial Edible Food Generators in order to comply with SB 1383. Additionally, the <br />City will need to develop a list of food recovery organizations and services operating <br />within the City. StopWaste has proposed to compile these lists on a County-wide and <br />jurisdiction-specific basis, at no additional cost to the City, and has already begun this <br />process. It is recommended that the City delegate this responsibility to StopWaste. <br />Finally, there are a host of supporting activities that will need to be conducted such as establishing legal authority <br />through ordinance updates, educating commercial edible food generators, food recovery organizations and <br />services, and monitoring compliance. These functions are described below. <br />3.5.2 State SB 1383 Requirements for Jurisdictions <br />• Identify Tier One and Tier Two Commercial Edible Food Generators (§18991.1) <br />• Implement an edible food recovery program that includes education of Tier One and Tier Two Commercial <br />Edible Food Generators at least annually with information about the available edible food recovery program, <br />information on generator requirements, and information about food recovery organizations and services <br />(§18991.1). <br />• Implement an edible food recovery program that increases commercial edible food generator access to food <br />recovery organizations and services (§18991.1). <br />• Develop a list of food recovery organizations and services operating within the jurisdiction, including name <br />physical address, contact information, collection service area, and hours of operation (§18985.2.a). <br />o Post this list on the jurisdiction’s website and update annually (§18985.2.a). <br />Tier 1: January 1, 2022 <br />•Supermarkets <br />•10,000+ SF Grocery store <br />•Food service provider <br />•Food Service Distributor <br />•Wholesale food vendor <br /> Tier 2: January 1, 2024 <br />•Restaurants with 250+ seats or <br />5,000+ SF <br />•Hotel with onsite food and 200 <br />rooms <br />•Health facility with onsite food <br />100+ beds <br />•Large Venues and Large Events <br />•Local education facility with on <br />food facility <br />•State agency with cafeteria and <br />250+ seats or 5,000+ SF <br />EDIBLE FOOD <br />GENERATOR TIERS <br />DEFINED <br />
