(1) A person that operates or controls a collection program for yard debris or food waste or that operates or controls a compost facility may not promote for acceptance any material that cannot or will not be effectively composted.
(2) The Department of Environmental Quality, or entities approved by the department, may conduct research or pilot projects to examine the collection and compostability of materials and to identify materials that can and cannot be effectively composted. A pilot or research project may not exceed two years in duration.
(3) Nothing in this section prevents a compositing facility from accepting materials that are not readily compostable and are incidentally collected as part of a collection program.
