Regulations
Nearly all CalRecycle regulations are found in Title 14 and Title 27 of California Code of Regulations (CCR). In January 2010, CalRecycle was created from a merge of the Department of Conservation, Division of Recycling and the California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB). Regulations approved before 2010 refer to CIWMB, CalRecycle’s predecessor, and those created after January 2010 refer to CalRecycle but all are in effect unless noted as “repealed”.
