Quebec has announced plans to ban organics disposal starting in 2022.

Metro Vancouver announced a ban on organics disposal in 2013 and began enforcement in 2015. Waste companies are inspected at transfer stations, and are fined if they have too much organic waste; These companies then have an incentive to better educate their customers, provide better services, or inspect their customer’s waste before picking it up.

The State of Massachusetts banned organics disposal in 2014. Since then, they’ve seen a 150% growth in green jobs because of this ban!
