New Jersey S2162 allows large food waste generators to send food waste to sanitary landfill facilities for renewable energy generation.
New Jersey S2162 amends existing law to authorize large food waste generators to send their food waste to sanitary landfill facilities for the purpose of generating Class I renewable energy. This exemption applies only if the generator continues to dispose of its food waste in this manner. The bill also outlines procedures for generators to petition for a waiver if the cost of transporting food waste to a recycling facility is at least 10 percent more than the cost of disposing of it as solid waste.
