Private contractors working on behalf of our member agencies can obtain access to CMSA facilities if we receive prior notification from the member agency. We do not accept vactor/vacuum truck loads from outside our service area or from privately-owned sewer lines within the service area.

LIQUID ORGANIC WASTES

Deliveries from Licensed Haulers

CMSA accepts deliveries of Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG)  from grease traps and interceptors in restaurants, markets, and similar types of food service establishments, and liquid organic wastes.

These deliveries are accepted from licensed haulers with the completion of a simple permit application process, or by special arrangement.  

Please contact CMSA for more information and to be placed on our list of approved FOG/organic waste haulers.

 FOOD WASTE

Joint Partnership with Marin Sanitary Service

CMSA and Marin Sanitary Service (MSS) have formed a public-private partnership, where CMSA accepts food waste from MMS that they obtain from restaurants, markets, and other eligible food waste generators.

This partnership provides many benefits:

• Renewable resources that would normally go into a landfill are now diverted to our facility which transforms the food waste into biogas.

• Reduced transportation distances, reducing greenhouse gases 

• Using biogas to power the Agency facilities, reducing energy costs.

• Processing food waste reduces the need for landfill space.

• Fewer greenhouse gases are emitted as compared to disposing at a landfill.
