Bill overview
This bill aims to reduce short-lived climate pollutants by encouraging the reduction of organic waste. It expands local jurisdictions’ ability to count certain organic materials, like compost and agricultural amendments, towards their recovered organic waste procurement targets. Specifically, it allows for the inclusion of compost produced from green material, agricultural material, and food material, provided certain conditions are met, and it updates regulations to prioritize beneficial agricultural amendments derived from organic waste. The bill also addresses landfill disposal goals and provides a pathway for local jurisdictions to adjust their procurement targets based on waste characterization studies.
