Effective January 1st, 2022 New York State will implement new legislative guidance on food donation and scrap recycling – The Food Donation and Food Scrap Recycling Law1. This provides an opportunity for farms with an Anaerobic Digester (AD) to harvest the energy and the nutrients from the food waste and add to farm revenue through tipping fees. Although, there are some constraints for the farm to consider before accepting food waste as discussed.
