[USCC] States considering foodscrap bans

[Susan DarleyHill]

The Western Lake Superior Sanitary District established a food waste
recovery ordinance in 2006 that targets significant generators of food
residuals, requiring them to source separate and divert pre-consumer
food waste to beneficial reuse (banned from landfilling.) Yard debris is
already banned from landfills in the state of Minnesota; WLSSD's
ordinance targets some- but not all - of the organic residuals generated
within the district in northeastern Minnesota.
Here is the link to the Solid Waste Ordinance - see Section 4.10 on
Organic Waste Recovery:

Rod,

debris.  The following link will take you to the December '08 agenda
