Hi Dan
~
Have you seen
any comprehensive studies on the environmental impacts of collecting food
and yard materials for processing and distribution from central
sites?
Tthe transportation
impacts, both to the sites, and then from the sites, seems large to
me.
Our county food
recovery plan goes along with your first recommendation -- compost it at
home.
John
PS ~ A benefit of home composting is
that the elimination of odor causing materials in the trash can. I put my trash
out 2-3 times a year (60 gallon cart), by composting the putrescibles (I don't
buy meat on bones.)

Next best is to use curbside food and yard debris collection; these
centralized processing systems are proliferating all over the Bay Area right
now.
