Title: [GreenYes] 6 new messages in 6 topics - digest [merits of Zero Waste]

I agree with Neil on these points.

Use of organics as "alternative daily cover"
seems about the biggest scam going in
dumping.   We have it here is Delaware, where a
"yard waste ban" seems politically impossible to
achieve, due to the monkey-wrenching of the
dumpers and the stupidity of the
bureaucrats.  But in any case, behind the scenes
are schemes to use chipped "yard waste" as ADC,
defeating not only the good intentions of the
do-gooders but competing with people running
legitimate mulch and composting operations in the private sector.....
