The law will expand January 1, 2027 to include entities that generate 1 ton or more of wasted food per week. The requirement to recycle food scraps will increase from 25 miles to 50 miles.

DEC will provide guidance to food processors on how to comply with the law, the waiver process and other available resources including a list of food scraps transporters and organics recyclers.

DEC will be joined by Feeding NYS who will share information about how they can help your business start or enhance a food donation program. Feeding NYS works with all ten regional food banks across New York State and many localized food relief organizations.
