NATIONAL PUBLIC WORKS WEEK

MAY 19-25, 2024

The City of South El Monte, alongside the American Public Works Association (APWA) and municipalities nationwide, celebrates National Public Works Week on May 19th through 25th, 2024. This week honors the dedicated professionals who ensure the upkeep and provision of essential public streets, facilities, and services throughout our cities. The Public Works department plays a critical role in sustaining resilient communities, promoting public health, enhancing quality of life, and fostering the well-being of South El Monte residents.

Our city’s infrastructure, facilities, and services owe their existence to the unwavering dedication of our Public Works department. Collaborating with stakeholders, they spearhead capital improvement projects, maintain infrastructure, and enhance quality of life services, all aimed at elevating the well-being of South El Monte residents. To the team behind our cherished parks, Aquatics Center, Community Center, and Senior Center upkeep, we extend a heartfelt gratitude and recognition for your tireless efforts.

SB 1383: CALIFORNIA’S SHORT-LIVED CLIMATE POLLUTANT REDUCTION LAW

Tackling Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Recycling Organics Waste SB 1383 targets the reduction of methane emissions from landfills. The law establishes a target of 50% by 2020 and 75% by 2025 in the reduction of statewide disposal of organics waste. It also requires that 20% of currently disposed edible food be recovered for human consumption by 2025. Landfills are the third largest source of methane in California. Organics waste emits 20% of the state’s methane; a climate super pollutant up to 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide.

Who & When Must Customers Comply?

Starting January 1, 2022, all residents and businesses in California must separate organics waste into a separate green organics container.

How Do I Comply? SB 1383 requires residents and businesses to arrange for organics waste recycling services.

*Must be 100% fiber-based. NO materials with petroleum based plastic, wax, or bio-plastic coating, liner, or laminate.

**Plastic and bioplastic “compostable” bags are accepted in the organics container, but must be CLEAR or translucent-green, and bag contents must be visible. Acceptable organics will be processed, but the bags will not be recycled or composted.

• All plastics**

• Cacti, succulents, & yucca Compostable plastics (bioplastics)**

• Coffee cups & pods

• Fats, oils, & grease

• Food stickers (please remove)

• Gloves

• Hard shells (clams, mussels, oysters) Medication

•
