Is Illinois Ready for a Food Scrap Ban?

May 17, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

A statewide ban on disposal of food scraps in landfills starts with planning legislation. Come join us on this webinar to learn how other states have navigated this process successfully to legislate, and to then implement food scrap bans in their states. How might a similar ban work for Illinois? Speakers will include Natasha Duarte, Director, Composting Association of Vermont, Emily Ranson, Clean Water Action (Maryland); Ben Parry, Compost Crew (Maryland); Matthew Karmel, Offit/ Kurman (New Jersey); and Isaac Bearg, New Jersey Composting Council.
