I just heard a story on Market Place about the mayor of San Francisco making an attempt to mandate compost and I think it is so wonderful. My city, Denver, is doing a composting pilot program that my neighborhood is a part of. The city picked five neighborhoods representative of the city as a whole. It is unbelievable how much of our trash can be composted or recycled, very little goes to the landfill. I do wish Denver recycled more plastics. I can’t believe more cities aren’t initiating composting programs. I think it would be a great business venture. You can do compost collection, change a fee, similar to people who are not services by city waste removal, and then sell the compost. Sounds like a win-win.

I love the idea of urban composting. I compost in my backyard, and even my small bin takes loads of garbage away from the landfill. If we all did this, it would have a huge impact. I envy you, being part of a pilot program like this!
