For our regular readers it is nothing new to hear (or read) the topic of compost on our various media outlets over the last 20 years – from books to guest blog posts and interviews to writing books, articles and social media posts, dozens of 1 hour segments on the subject on our old radio show and more. Just use the “search” the blog tool on the (right side tool bar of this blog) and you’ll find numerous discussions on the topic right here on this blog.

Knowing that as much as 60% of the waste in landfill could be composted, and compostable items in the landfill are actually up to 22 times more damaging to the environment than CO2… it is a topic and hobby of mine that has become a dedicated passion. As such I always get a spark of excitement when I learn of major leaps in the industry.

Way over on the other side of Canada (we are in BC) in Cape St. George, Newfoundland they’ve created a very successful food waste composting system. For this community, garbage faces 5 hours of transportation and were filling up the landfill.

Immediately after embracing composting, the area was able to drop waste by 2 tonnes per week. Even though they invested in composting bins they gave out to residents, the program was so successful the savings allowed them to drop the garbage collection fees by $5 or more per resident.

Kudo’s for this incredibly successful endeavor, Cape St. George!!!
