Authorizes institutions of higher education to send, receive, and compost or anaerobically digest food waste without DEP permit, under certain conditions.

New Jersey's Senate Bill S 3911 allows colleges, universities, and other institutions of higher education to compost or anaerobically digest campus food waste without needing a Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) permit. Schools must use on-site systems (like enclosed composters or digesters), not exceed system capacity, and notify the DEP before starting. The bill specifically excludes K-12 schools and applies only to institutions of higher education, removing permit barriers for their food waste management. It also clarifies that schools using these systems won’t face fees for required permits under air or water pollution laws.
