Establishes Statewide targets to reduce disposal of organic waste in landfills; requires DEP to adopt regulations to achieve targets.

S 203 establishes statewide targets to reduce organic waste disposal in landfills: a 50% reduction from 2016 levels by 2027 and a 75% reduction by 2032. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) must adopt regulations within 18 months to achieve these targets, requiring local governments to set rules for waste generators (like businesses and municipalities) and allowing them to charge fees or impose reasonable penalties for noncompliance. The regulations will not set landfill-specific waste limits but include a two-year penalty grace period and require recovery of 20% of excess edible food by 2035. By July 2027, the DEP must report on progress, including infrastructure needs and market development for recycled products like compost.
