In 2014, Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD) saw the writing on the wall; SB 1383 requiring diversion of organics from landfill was not drafted yet but already the push was on to divert food from landfills.

The end product will be transportation fuel it will sell at its public compressed natural gas (CNG) station and possibly inject into the pipeline.
