Legislation designed to stop burning trash as an alternative to sending it to landfills has been signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Southeast Resource Recovery Facility

Even before the legislation passed, the city had been considering whether to refurbish the 30-plus-year-old facility. A $7.8 million expenditure for upgrades was approved in 2018, with the work expected to keep the plant viable through 2024. Long Beach contracts with a private company to operate the facility, paying for it with state diversion credits — a way for cities to get cash for diverting trash from landfills — and dumping fees from surrounding cities. Dowell has said surrounding cities likely would return to taking refuse to landfills without the diversion credits, although municipalities also are under state requirements to divert 50% or more of trash away from landfills.
