The required recycling rate for larger solid waste planning units is 25%, for smaller units it is 15%. These rates are inadequate and should be set much higher, as much as 80% for larger units and 50% for smaller units. California's SB54 sets up extensive recycling and reduction rates. Maryland mandates 35% recycling for larger jurisdictions and 20% for smaller jurisdictions.https://www.rila.org/getmedia/2303cf37-d7d7-40f2-b4ae-41088067c9bf/Mandatory-Recycling-and-Disposal-Bans-Fact-Sheet-1-23.pdf?ext=.pdf
