California Code, Public Resources Code - PRC § 41500

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) On or before July 1, 1992, each city shall prepare, adopt, and submit to the county in which the city is located a household hazardous waste element which identifies a program for the safe collection, recycling, treatment, and disposal of hazardous wastes, as defined in Section 25117 of the Health and Safety Code, which are generated by households in the city and which should be separated from the solid waste stream.

In preparing a city household hazardous waste element pursuant to this section, a city may use components of a city hazardous waste plan prepared pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 25135.7 of the Health and Safety Code if the city hazardous waste plan meets the requirements of this article and Section 41802.

(1) On or before July 1, 1992, the city shall adopt a resolution stating the reasons it is unable to comply with the deadline established under subdivision (a) and to complete and certify the environmental impact report for the household hazardous waste element. The resolution shall also state a date when the city will comply with the deadline established under subdivision (a) and complete and certify the environmental impact report for the household hazardous waste element.

(2) On or before July 1, 1992, the city shall submit its draft household hazardous waste element and a copy of the resolution adopted pursuant to paragraph (1) to the county within which the city is located.
