Connecticut Organics Recycling Law

March 1, 2025: Connecticut’s Commercial Organics Recycling Law (CORL) requires businesses and institutions generating more than 26 tons of food waste a year to source-separate and recycle food waste, and to begin reporting on those efforts to CT DEEP on or before March 1st, 2025.

If you are a business or institution subject to this law, you will report your wasted food diversion efforts for 2024 electronically via this CT DEEP reporting form. The form is 18 questions, and summarizes the amount of edible food donated, the amount of food scraps recycled and the organics recycler or recyclers and associated collectors used.
