ICTV
Growers, Packers & Ag Processors

Your culls and residuals are a diversion stream, not a dump fee.

ICTV routes ag culls, processing residuals, and packaging waste into composting, anaerobic digestion, and animal feed — with documented diversion you can hand a regulator. We also recover the OCC and film plastics piling up in your packing operation, and we run programs nationwide with California as the leading compliance example.

The Problem

What waste looks like without the right partner.

1

High-volume organics, no outlet

Packing-line culls, sorting residuals, and off-spec product pile up faster than any single composter or feed buyer can take them. When the outlet backs up, it goes to landfill at a premium.

2

Seasonal surge breaks your hauler

Harvest and pack windows triple your organic volume for a few weeks, then drop off. A vendor sized for your off-season can't absorb the peak, and overflow becomes a landfill problem overnight.

3

Packing waste rides along untracked

OCC bales, stretch film, and rigid totes from the packing house get mixed into trash or sit uncounted. That's recoverable value leaving as a disposal cost, with no diversion record behind it.

4

SB 1383 documentation gap

California names organics generators directly, and reporting demands defensible tonnage and diversion data. Most ag operations divert in practice but can't produce the paper trail when a jurisdiction asks.

Why generic providers fall short

The gap between standard service and what agriculture & ag processing operations actually need.

Spot buyers vanish at peak

The feed or compost buyer who took your culls in spring isn't answering at harvest. One-off relationships fail exactly when your volume is highest.

Single-pathway routing

A vendor with one outlet — just compost, or just feed — has nowhere to send material when that pathway is full or out of spec. You need feed, AD, and compost options running in parallel.

No reporting behind the haul

Standard haulers move the material and stop there. You get a pickup, not the diversion tonnage and documentation a compliance review requires.

We route organics to the best available pathway — composting, anaerobic digestion, or animal feed — based on material type, contamination, and volume, and recover the fiber and plastics from your packing operation in the same program.

Regulatory Context

The compliance picture.

What these laws mean for agriculture & ag processing — in plain English.

SB 1383

Names organics generators directly and sets mandatory food and organic waste diversion standards in California, the leading example nationwide.

Non-compliance risk

Fines of $500–$10,000 per day, plus enforcement actions and increased oversight.

AB 1826

Requires commercial generators of organic waste to arrange recycling and divert organics from landfill.

Non-compliance risk

Jurisdictional enforcement, escalating compliance scrutiny, and documentation demands.

SB 54

Sets statewide single-use packaging rules; by 2032, 65% of single-use plastic must be recycled, all single-use packaging recyclable or compostable, with a 25% plastic reduction.

Non-compliance risk

Producer and generator obligations on packaging, with phased compliance starting 2027.

Documentation

Every ICTV program produces documentation that holds up under regulatory review, internal audit, and ESG reporting.

FAQ

Common questions from agriculture & ag processing.

Still have questions? Call us directly at (951) 387-4836 or send us a message.

Yes. We coordinate multiple processing partners — compost, anaerobic digestion, and feed — so peak volume routes across several outlets instead of overloading one, and we plan the surge schedule with you in advance.

Turn your culls and packing waste into a documented diversion program.

We assess your organic streams, packing-house recyclables, and seasonal volume, then design a program with the outlets and reporting to keep you compliant and out of the landfill — nationwide.

No obligation. Free facility assessment included.
