Composting Outreach Campaign Outreach to Stakeholders in the Region Promoting On-Farm Composting VA GIS Model of Organics Waste Sources and Recycling Facilities

Original Partners ILSR (Institute for Local Self-Reliance) MACREDO (Mid-Atlantic Consortium of Recycling and Economic Development Officials) US EPA Region III

MACREDO Region District of Columbia Delaware Maryland Pennsylvania Virginia West Virginia

ILSR, MACREDO, and EPA Working Together to Increase Food Recovery Efforts in the Mid-Atlantic Region

Why? Almost 20% of the US Municipal Solid Waste is comprised of food scraps.

Why? When landfilled, biodegradable organic materials break down and produce methane, a greenhouse gas 72 times more potent than carbon dioxide in its global warming strength.

Composting Benefits Improves moisture retention and resulting in improved crop drought tolerance; Reduces fertilizer requirements; Adds organic matter; and Reduces potential for soil erosion.

Outreach Efforts ( ) Mid-Atlantic Organics Recovery Summit; Beltsville, MD; November 30, 2006 Pennsylvania Food Merchants Association Composting Workshop; Camp Hill, PA; June 21, 2007 Organics Composting Forum; COG Headquarters; Washington, DC; May 21, 2009

On-Farm Composting Outreach Partnering with farm associations to inform them of on- site composting opportunities that are revenue generators

Two Particular Acres accepts pre-consumer food waste

VA GIS Model of Organics Waste Sources and Recycling Facilities

Planning Tool Municipal governments Private recycling companies Waste generators

Planning Tool Identify regions generating sufficient volumes of organic discards to sustain composting facilities and perishable food rescue programs.

Planning Tool Evaluate potential sites for new composting facilities or food rescue programs.

Planning Tool Support efforts of existing facilities to locate, collect, and recover additional materials.

Planning Tool Identify the type and location of organic materials recycling outlets for industrial, commercial, and municipal waste generators looking to increase their diversion rates.

Virginia Recycling Association Advisory Role Will provide access through the VRA web site
