Trash is unloaded at the Otay Landfill in Chula Vista, Calif., on Friday, Jan. 26, 2024. Two years after California launched an effort to keep organic waste out of landfills, the state is so far behind on getting food recycling programs up and running that it's widely accepted next year's ambitious waste-reduction targets won't be met. Over time, food scraps and other organic materials like yard waste emit methane, a gas more potent and damaging in the short-term than carbon emissions from fossil fuels. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)
