The best management practices posters provides a visual of what can and what should not be put down a kitchen drain. For businesses that don't produce grease, solids waste disposal can also be a concern. 

In September 2014, the Governor signed into law California Assembly Bill 1826. This law requires commercial businesses to recycle their organic waste to keep this waste out of landfills.

Beginning January 1, 2019, any business that generates 4 cubic yards or more of solid waste each week must recycle its organic waste.

Vacaville Recycling has additional information on what businesses can do to meet these requirements.
