2009: San Francisco Waste Management Policy Changes
In 2009, San Francisco began revising its waste management policies with the goal of achieving zero waste by 2030. These changes included mandatory recycling and composting for businesses and individuals, banning Styrofoam and plastic bags, charging for paper bags, and increasing garbage collection rates. Businesses were incentivized for proper waste sorting and penalized for incorrect disposal, and waste bins were manufactured in different sizes to encourage mindful waste sorting.
2030: San Francisco's Zero Waste Goal
San Francisco set a goal to achieve zero waste by 2030, but according to Debbie Raphael, director of the San Francisco Department of the Environment, this goal may not be achievable unless products are redesigned for recyclability or compostability.
