** Updated at 2:05 p.m. to provide contact link for NJ State Senators**

By Frank Brill, EnviroPolitics Editor

The New Jersey Composting Council is urging Garden State residents to contact the state Senator representing their district and request a yes vote to accept Gov. Phil Murphy’s recommended amendments to A3726/S1206.

The legislation would require major generators of food waste (i.e., casinos, universities, restaurants, sports stadiums, etc.) to recycle unused food for compost, energy capture, and other environmentally beneficial uses.

Please note that the bill number (S-1206) used in the Composting Council’s message below is not accurate. It applies to an earlier version of the bill. The version that the governor conditionally vetoed is A3726/S4039. Use those numbers if you call or email your state senator.

You can find the contact information for your NJ state senator here.
