Sources separated collection and composting expansion
Article Abstract:
The pilot program of the Region of Peel Public Works Department to collect and process source separated residential organics would be expanded to full-scale curbside collection services for more than one million residents in the communities of Brampton, Caledon and Mississauga, Ontario and Canada in 2007. This program is designed to divert 70 percent of waste from disposal by 2016 and to accommodate the five-fold expansion of the composting program a new plant is constructed at the Peel Integrated Waste Management Facility in Brampton.

Exploring applications for MSW compost
Article Abstract:
Research projects in Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, Cornell University, University of Massachusetts, University of New Hampshire and State University of New York were initiated to determine the elements of compost production and utilization. Gathered data from these programs will be used for solid waste program planning and development. The organic components of the MSW compost will be assessed and its effects on soil and water properties examined. In addition, compost market options will be determined.
