At the Indiana Recycling Coalition’s (IRC) Annual Conference, which ran from May 10th – May 12th, Busch Systems International launched an initiative to jump-start composting efforts in the mid-west.
By handing out kitchen composting containers to attendees, Busch Systems is attempting to raise awareness of the need to include composting as a key element in any recycling program. Recycling Consultant Jarrod Cameron states, “Composting is the next logical step in our national recycling efforts. Reducing the impact on our landfills will only serve our efforts to preserve resources for this, and future generations”.
The IRC is continuing this effort by distributing compost containers to local school programs in an effort to increase composting efforts throughout the area. The hope is that with an increase in awareness, perhaps more municipalities will begin including organic collection in their curb side recycling programs.
States Cameron, “You can either pay to have your garbage hauled away or you can put it to use in your own back yard. By choosing composting, you are choosing the sensible option.”
