California is starting to carry out food waste recovery as part of a wider recycling program. San Francisco and Berkeley have set up recycling programs that are commercial and municipally sponsored. Pilot programs allow the municipalities to develop programs that are viable. Private sector initiatives have also been set up. but cannot be relied on, and some localities in California have no program. Franchise agreements, education, and regulations are all important in this initiative.
