AB 2559: Solid waste: construction debris: diversion: deposits.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified July 18, 2026

What AB 2559 does, verified July 18, 2026

The bill aims to improve the state's waste management system. It requires cities and counties to return a full refundable deposit if they can demonstrate compliance with construction or demolition debris requirements. This deposit is used to ensure that builders meet the necessary standards. The bill builds on the existing California Integrated Waste Management Act, which sets a goal of diverting 50% of solid waste from disposal through recycling and composting activities.
