Ann Morse asked:
Specifically, I'd like to know if people have had success in recovering
food waste from households, short of collecting it at curbside. For
example, are there examples anywhere of decentralized drop-offs that
have been effective? Surely it's happening somewhere! Or instead, does
anyone have any great ideas?
It's been proven throughout the U.S. and Canada that it is more cost-effective
and energy-efficient for a community to spend money on educational and
support materials for citizens to handle their food scraps on-site, instead of
providing a collection program. Household food scraps can easily be composted
in a worm bin or a composting bin. By practicing on-site composting, people
learn
to take responsibility for the waste they generate, and reduced waste
production is
often the result. Contact The Composting Council in Alexandria,VA
(703/739-2401)
about the National Backyard Composting Program which provides training and
several useful support materials, including a reference manual, clip-art and
promotional
materials on computer disks, a cost-benefit analysis, etc. to help
communities establish
successful on-site composting programs.
