Guidance on Form 74 for Vendors
The following information guides completing CalRecycle Form 74: (Word | Fillable PDF).
Tip 1: Check if your product falls in one of the 16 State Agency Buy Recycled Campaign (SABRC) categories. The product categories and examples are on the back side of the Form 74. You can also reference the SABRC Product Categories page for more detailed information.
Example for Tip 2:
The trash can is made of plastic (product category 6a) and metal (product category 16), with both meeting the minimum percentage of post-consumer recycled content (PCRC) for each category; however, there is more metal (by weight) in the product.
The same product cannot be claimed in two different product categories.
Tip 3: If your product falls under one of the SABRC categories, but you do not know if it has PCRC, list the category and enter “unknown” for the percentage of PCRC.
Example for Tip 3:
The trash can is made of plastic (product category 6a), but the PCRC is unknown.
Tip 4: A product falls into a SABRC category but contains is less than the minimum percentage of PCRC for that category. In this case, the product is not SABRC-compliant. Please provide as much information as possible such as the product category and the percentage of PCRC, even if it is less than the minimum required for compliance.
Example for Tip 4:
The trash can is made of plastic (product category 6a) but the PCRC does not meet the minimum PCRC.
Tip 5: If your product does not fall under any of the 16 SABRC product categories or sub-categories, it is not SABRC-compliant. If your product does not fall under any of the SABRC categories and you are required to complete a Form 74, please enter “N/A” on the form.
