New Small-scale or Backyard Composting WWW site
A significant fraction of the solid waste generated in the
U.S. is organic material like yard trimmings and food scraps
that can be recycled through small-scale composting. The Cornell
Waste Management Institute has launched a new WWW site at
http://cwmi.css.cornell.edu/smallscalecomposting.htm.
The site provides information for both composters and for
educators seeking to promote home composting. Resources include
a guide for developing Master Composter programs, information
relevant to composting at schools, as well as fact sheets,
videos and information on home compost demo sites in NYS.
