COMPOSTING OF YARD WASTE AND FOOD WASTE <br /> Composting is the process that converts yard and food waste into <br /> an organic soil amendment or mulch through a decomposition <br /> process. Two ways in which residents can compost at home is by <br /> leaving their grass clippings on the lawn (rather than bagging <br /> them) or by keeping a home compost pile of organic materials. <br /> Again, public education on this subject is the best way to <br /> encourage composting. <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS: <br /> 1 The City should, as a part of an overall solid waste <br /> education program, inform residents as to the benefits and <br /> the process of home composting. <br /> 2 . More detail should be added to the current provisions in the <br /> code relating to composting, particularly with regard to <br /> placement of compost piles and materials allowed in a <br /> compost pile. <br />
