Recycling of Food Scraps by Industrial Waste Management Facilities
Abstract
(type = summary)
The unsustainable practice of dumping refuge into a landfill is finally becoming a reality for most of the developed world in the 21rst century. Landfills are hazardous to the environment and humans alike, not economically feasible, and a waste of valuable renewable resources. Composting organic wastes is a safe and effective solution. Compost turns food scrap into quality soils that give back to the community in so many more ways than imagined in terms of stimulating the economy and health. Just as Americans recycle glass, plastics, paper, and cardboard, some states in the US are implementing curbside pick of food scraps for businesses and residents that divert solid waste from landfills to be turned into quality soils. Currently in New Jersey, Waste Management and Central Jersey Waste only provide services to large institutions and there is no law as in other states and several countries that forces residents to recycle. Only until an increase in demand for these services or a law is passed will there be widespread curbside pick-up. In this paper, we discuss in more detail the drawbacks of landfills and benefits of composting. In addition, we propose a bill to legislation that models successful green bin programs in California, Washington, and Canada.
