New Hampshire is taking a big bite out of food waste! A new law taking effect on February 1, 2025, requires large food generators to divert their scraps from landfills and incinerators. This is a significant step towards a more sustainable waste management system in the state. New Hampshire joins Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Washington, and California in implementing a food waste ban.
Who Needs to Comply?
The law applies to businesses and institutions that generate one ton or more of food waste per week. This includes places like:
Supermarkets
Food manufacturers and processors
Restaurants and hotels
Hospitals and universities
