CT SB01116

Defines "source-separated organic material" as organic waste including food scraps, food processing residue, and soiled paper that has been separated from other waste at the point of generation.

Requires commercial food wholesalers, manufacturers, supermarkets, and conference centers generating at least 104 tons per year of organic materials to separate and recycle these materials at a permitted composting facility within 20 miles.

Requirement becomes effective six months after two or more permitted composting facilities with combined capacity to service these businesses are established in the state.

Exempts businesses that compost organic materials on-site or use permitted on-site organic treatment equipment from the 20-mile facility requirement.

Requires composting facilities to report to the Commissioner of Environmental Protection a summary of fees charged for receiving source-separated organic materials.
