Compost Conference at Rhode Island College March
10th
Rhode Island has passed
legislation that requires a limited number of food producers to divert the
waste from the Central Landfill. The legislation is for restaurants,
colleges and universities, and food wholesaler and distributors that produce
104 tons of organic material annually. The law could be a boon to the
sustainability of local small agriculture by providing quality compost.
But the requirement only applies if there is a composting or anaerobic
digestion facility within 15 miles of the food scrap producer. Earth
Care Farm in Charlestown is currently the only commercial-scale composting
site in Rhode Island that takes food scraps.
Learn
how Vermicomposting can be a cost effective solution to the food waste
problem! Email or call Nancy at wormladies@verizon.net
