As of October 1, 2014, Massachusetts businesses and institutions that dispose of one ton or more per week of organic wastes (food waste) have been banned from disposing of these wastes at landfills or incinerators. There is also a requirement that they reuse, recycle, compost or convert these waste materials.
At this EBC Solid Waste Program, Massachusetts DEP Commissioner Suuberg and key DEP solid waste staff will provide an update on how this waste ban program has evolved over the past year and reflect on what the future holds.
What was the ban supposed to accomplish? What are the results so far? How does it fit into the broader policy picture? Where does this go in the future?
In addition, in order to provide a comprehensive review of the organics waste ban implementation, a diverse group of stakeholders including waste generators, haulers, project developers and organics processors will participate in this EBC program.
General Continuing Education Certificates are awarded by the EBC for this program (3.5 training contact hours). Please select this option during registration if you wish to receive a certificate.
