Maryland Requires Businesses to Recycle Organic Byproducts
Are you breaking the law? The State of Maryland now requires businesses to recycle food residuals. If you generate at least 1 ton per week of food residuals and are located within 30 miles of an organics recycling facility, like our Jessup facility, you are required to separate and divert food residuals away from final disposal in landfills and incinerators.
