A statewide survey of organics waste generation and management will be performed, which will identify what types of materials are being generated in the state, where they are being generated, and how and where they are being managed. It will identify regional gaps and areas of opportunity. This data will then be presented at stakeholder meetings where strategies for increasing waste diversion will be developed and incorporated into an Organics Management Plan.
