Page 14, Whitby Free Press, Wednesday, May 25, 1994 GETTINU THE IC&I ORGANICS OUT 0F LANDFILL Composting is an extremely important factor to help Ontario reach itswaste reduction goal. Not only does it divert a significant portion of waste from landfill, but good quality compost is a veluable soul conditioner. As residents are becoming familier with the process of layering their organie kitchen scraps with yard waste, so should the industrial commercial & înstitutional (IC&I) sector deal with its organic materials. More then 27,000 Durham honeowners and most of Durham's schools now compost on site. But what about hospitel food waste, florist cutting, restaurant organies, hair saon floor sweepings, supermarket produce trizn -- ail of which add good nutrients to the soil if properly composted? To recognize these naturel resources, municipal planners must study the increesing emount of new information being compiled on mid-scale and large-scale methode of compostinýg, review new innovations and examine systems that are in operation. For exemple, in Milton, Scott Farmse bas successfully isoleted the source of an odour problem in their windrow compotng facility. The Ontario Environmental Appeal Board now ill permit Scott Farmn to receive up to 150 tonnes per day of organics. 0f that tonnage, food waste will account for up te 40 tonnes per day to an eventuel maimum of 75 tonnes per dapýesetin Brockville Psychiatrie Hospital, groundskeeper Dave Wilson attended a mimistry green workplace seminar on experimental composting options and settled on the idea developed by AI Eggen's Original Vermitecb Systems. In Ifrockville, 600 pounds of red wiggler worms are nug inside two highly insulated, thermo-regulated outdoor units. The worms enjoy eeting the hospital's 400 pounds of unwanted food a day and the staff bas notbing but praise for the new employees. Guelph, a city on tbe leading edge of weste management initiatives since the mid-eighties, has opted for the wetldry system. Instead of blue box and gerbage pick-ups residents choose whether to p lace their waste into one of two bage -- one for wet waste and one for only dry material - which are separted at their new site. In Europe several cities have invested in Canada Compostes large anaerolic type of composting facility. This method also captures methane gas.
