County Mulch Co partners with St Edmundsbury in England in handling the borough's source separated organic waste.

Aside from composting organics from St Edmundsbury's community, it also handles composting for Suffolk Waste Disposal Co, which includes 9,000 metric tons/yr of household wastes and 12,000 metric tons/yr of yard trimmings.

Article Abstract:

A senior citizen's community in Austin, Texas, is offering composting facilities. The composting programs use organic materials generated on-site.

Wood chips from off-site locations are used to construct windrows.
