List Of Authorized Food Waste Recycling Facilities

This webpage identifies facilities that fit the definition of "authorized food waste recycling facility" as provided in the statute. For reference, "authorized food waste recycling facility" means a Class C recycling center within the State authorized to accept, store, process, or transfer food waste or compostable material, pursuant to subsection b. of section 41 of P.L.1987, c.102 (C.13:1E-99.34)."

Please note that any large food waste generator that is obligated to source separate and recycle its food waste pursuant to the Law shall be deemed to be in compliance if the large food waste generator 1) performs enclosed on-site composting, or anaerobic or aerobic digestion of its source separated food waste in accordance with standards adopted by the department or 2) by using an alternative authorized food waste recycling method (as defined by the Law).

The Department has prepared the following map showing the 25-road mile radius from the above listed facilities, as well as a list of municipalities that are within 25 miles of these facilities.

This map is presented for reference only and is not to be used to determine whether a large food waste generator is within 25 road miles of a recycling facility. A large food waste generator must determine their distance from an authorized food waste recycling facility and whether they need to comply with the mandated food waste source separation and recycling requirements.
