Gold medal for composting is only one-third the story

Article Abstract:

Staffs who operate the EKO systems composting site on Maui, Hawaii received the Gold 2004 Composting Excellence Award from Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) for their commitment for achieving the highest standards in the solid waste industry. According to John Harder, the chief of Maui County's Solid Waste Division, nearly 50 percent of the country's landfill diversion is the direct result of EKO and its sister company, Pacific Biodiesel.
