Municipalities roll out source separated household organics collection

Article Abstract:

The survey conducted in the year 2006 found that 30 municipalities and counties had implemented source separated household organics collections programs and these municipal agencies made significant investments in collection infrastructure and outreach and education to establish these programs. The 23rd Annual BioCycle West Coast Conference to be held in April 16-18, 2007 in San Diego would feature several sessions that would advise on how to build participation in source separated organics collection programs aimed at residents and commercial and institutional generators.
