How San Mateo County Towns Are Diverting Organic Waste from Landfills

RethinkWaste, also known as the South Bayside Waste Management Authority (SBWMA), is a joint powers authority formed by eleven local government jurisdictions in San Mateo County, California. SBWMA utilizes Anaergia’s Organics Extrusion Press (OREX™) to extract the organic fraction from municipal solid waste and Source Separated Organics streams to generate renewable energy at multiple regional wastewater treatment plants.
