What happens to the garbage from a pre-customs side of an international airport?

3/3/2018 5:39:06 PM

This video from USDA APHIS describes the rules for disposing of “regulated garbage,” which is the term in the USA for waste coming from international arrivals, and this article from the National Business Aviation Association summarizes some approaches taken by airports in the USA. The short answer is that the government of the USA takes this very seriously and requires that food waste be segregated from the usual waste stream and be sterilized or incinerated.

Canada appears to have similar rules, although it seems they also allow the waste to be placed in specially segregated landfills.
