Composting yard trimmings in Ireland

Article Abstract:

Ireland has only one composting facility, operated and managed by the Parks Dept of Dublin Corp, which was established only as an answer to the number of Christmas trees that residents leave lying about in inappropriate places. The number of trees that the facility received in 1992 to be used as compost amounted to 30,000. The positive reaction by the public has increased the facility's business and has led to the improvement of the site and its expansion.
