Union Gas P Make the EnerSmart Choice! Composting experiments emphasize separation of garbage for collection (Continued from page 11) "About three to four years ago there was a real flurry of activity, but the biodegradable plastic bags of the day did not live up to their promise," said Taylor. As for the diapers, "we have to come up with something that keeps baby dry and can be triggered by something in the (compost) pile to break down." However, despite the fact they won‘t break down, plastic bags are ideal for collecting materials for composting, especially wet food wastes from households. For the food wastes composting experiment currently underway in Mississauga, two types of plastic bags are being used, along with a rigid container and paper bags. Emptying out the plastic bags, whether used to collect food or grass clippings, costs about $1 each, Taylor said. "We have to keep doing this manually until we can find a biodegradable bag." TWOâ€"PART EXPERIMENT The food wastes composting is a twoâ€"part experiment involving 3,000 Mississauga households and the Mississauga Hospital. "It‘s a project to study the feasibility of food organics," commented Rivers. "We‘re collecting everything from table scraps to vegetables, fruits, meat and potatoes (raw and cooked), plus dairy products, from residential homes â€" most of our food comes from the residential colâ€" lections." Rivers explained the city has four residential routes "for which the emphasis on on collecâ€" tion." Hence the experimentation with four different collection conâ€" Added to this are the 42 20â€"gal. THE OAKVILLE BEAVER containers of cafeteria food wastes, about 2â€"1/2 tons, from the Mississauga hospital arriving weekâ€" ly, representing a sampling of what English describes as ICI â€" Industrialâ€"Commercialâ€"Institutional food wastes. The major difference between the food wastes from the hospital and that from the houseâ€" holds is "one cafeteria compared to several cafeterias," said English. COMPOST MIXTURE He explained the food wastes are mixed with yard wastes, leaves, brush and grass clippings, adding piles of yard wastes have been kept aside for this mixture to continue the food composting year round. The mixture breaks down in about 10 weeks using the ‘microbe farmâ€" ing‘ technique of allowing tiny organisms to eat their way through the yard and food wastes mixture, turning the ‘wind rows‘ regularly to acrate them. ‘"We attain a stable compost in three to four months," English said, adding the experimental site has already held public giveâ€"ways for households participating in the food wastes program, and a third is planned for this spring. English estimates the site comâ€" posts about one to 20 metric tons of food wastes collected from each route per week. The amount varies due to seasonal changes and type of containers used for collection. Upon arrival, the food wastes is mixed "and after about three hours, you won‘t be able to see any of the food wastes. This keeps the site clean and odorless." The food wastes composting experiment began when Compost Management opened the site in Save $300.00 on our heating and cooling package, or choose a free Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaner and setback thermostat Plus make no payments for 90 Days !* Call Today! 335â€"7310 October 1991 and will continue as a pilot project until June when it will be closed pending a future decision by either the City of Mississauga or Peel Region to reâ€"open the site and continue the composting operation. "This is a Research and Development project, a totally experimental site," said English. Other items composted at this Mississauga site include vacuum cleaner bags, ashes and cereal boxes. Much of Compost Management‘s work is experimenâ€" tal, having operated two pilot proâ€" jects in Oakville â€" one for Halton Region for yard wastes and another for Oakville to compost leaves. Compost Management currently operates a dozen sites totalling about 25 acres, the most recent addition being Scott‘s Farm in Horby about three weeks ago, a 5 1/2â€"acre site handling a "variety of industrialâ€"commercial organic byâ€" products, food processing wastes, low grade papers, wood pellets, some gelatin, old drywall fragments and so on," explained Taylor. KILL ODOR PROBLEM "The first thing we had to do was to take care of was their odor problem, and that‘s been taken care off." He added the site was threatâ€" ened with closure by the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy and is now being watched closely. In addition to the Mississauga and Scott‘s Farm sites, the company also has composting operations in Sarnia, Fort Erie, Port Colborne, Brantford, Brampton, Scarborough, Alliston, Kingston, Pittsburgh Township, and Brockville. Although most sites are handling yard wastes, there is some experiâ€" mentation taking place, explained Taylor, "In Alliston, we‘re compostâ€" ing grain wastes from a farmers‘ coâ€" op, and in Pittsburgh, we‘re doing industrial wastes from a dye making plant." He explained an orange cheddar cheese dye is produced from the tiny colored seeds harvestâ€" ed from annatto, tropical bushes in Central America, leaving the remaining seed pulp for composting "because it is too expensive to land fill them." Taylor sits on the twoâ€"yearâ€"old Composting Council of Canada, and prior to launching Compost Management in January 1989, he ran the nonâ€"profit Recycling Council of Ontario for six years, working as a consultant to the Blue Box program. He was encouraged by a New Yorker who run a similar composting operation in the United States. About twoâ€"thirds of his sites are funded by the Ministry of Environment and Energy.
