Why can't we compost food at the Transfer Station?
Why can't we compost food at the Transfer Station?
We would love to establish a food composting program! However, there are a few key challenges:
Land: Large-scale food composting requires ample space, and land costs in our county are incredibly high.
Regulations: While the Transfer Station potentially has the space, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations require any composting operation within two miles of an airport to be fully enclosed. An outdoor composting site would attract birds, which pose risks to aircraft.
Private Business: In many parts of the country, composting is managed by private companies rather than county-run programs. Do you know any entrepreneurs who are passionate about soil science? This could be a great opportunity!
Despite these challenges, we remain hopeful and open to creative solutions!
