Composting & Food Waste Diversion in NH

Food waste accounts for 24% of municipal solid waste (EPA, 2018). It's heavy, smelly, and takes up valuable space in landfills and incinerators.

Over the past few years, as more attention has been paid to getting food waste out of the municipal waste stream, food scrap composting has become easier in NH with changes to municipal and commercial composting regulations.

This interactive map will walk you through options including on-farm composting, residential pick-up, municipal composting, and anaerobic digestion. Explore the maps to see which municipalities participate and how a composting or food waste diversion program might benefit your community.
