​In 2014, the MassDEP made it illegal for certain companies in Massachusetts to throw away food waste. Over 1,700 companies in Massachusetts are affected, and most of them don't even know it. The MassDEP handed out over $250,000 in penalties in 2015 alone. To avoid getting slapped with a fine, tell us a little bit about your business, and we'll let you know whether or not you are affected by the ban.
