AI Summary

An analysis of eight residential curbside organics programs finds that, when properly implemented, cities can use a new organics collection system to create a more efficient, resilient and sustainable solid‑waste infrastructure. The practice is expanding nationwide as states and local governments aim to cut food waste sent to landfills and incinerators, achieve waste‑diversion and climate targets, and address limited landfill capacity. However, many communities still view the added cost of organics recycling alongside existing trash and recycling services as a major obstacle to adoption.
