A Business Organics Management Area (BOMA) is a place where both of the following conditions are met:

• Businesses have access to year-round curbside collection for food waste and organic materials.
• The collected materials are sent to an organics management facility, such as a compost facility or anaerobic digester, and there is capacity at that facility to accept more material.

We determine these areas by working with local governments, waste haulers, and composting facilities. We are also asking for public feedback on the draft map to make sure it reflects real-world conditions and needs.

After the close of the comment period we will review and respond to comments. We will send out a notice about the next steps to anyone who provided contact information.
