We are seeing an increase in single stream food products looking to be used as livestock feed or as a “soil amendment”. What we are hearing about is all pre-consumer. (Salad dressing waste, fruits and vegetable that aren’t Grade A, processed foods that don’t meet standards, fish bones and heads) We don’t have any rules or guidelines for this as long as it can be a “beneficial reuse” under waste management. We see some instances of people spreading food waste on their fields to disk in later. WE would have them apply for a land farming permit unless it has a specific agronomist component.
