The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) just announced its new report about the environmental value of applying compost for a variety of purposes – from agriculture and landscaping to stormwater management and contaminated site remediation. Increasing food waste composting will present expanded opportunities for cities and states, along with businesses and institutions, to increase their use of compost. The report can be downloaded here: https://lnkd.in/g9BHmmtS The EPA also posted new information on our website about compost: https://lnkd.in/gpiWF9rW

Congratulations to Kane County for receivig a grant that will go towards collecting food scraps for compost at many places! https://lnkd.in/gJ9rUZZU
Grant-writing skills: ya girl still got 'em! The Kane County Recycling Program was recently awarded a USDA Composting and Food Waste Reduction grant. I'm very excited to start working soon with our Sheriff's Office, their contractor, Aramark, Northern Illinois Food Bank, Kane County Cougars (our minor league baseball club), and Advocate Health Care at Sherman Hospital to separate and compost food scraps. We'll be doing other fun stuff as well, including piloting a public drop off and starting an outreach and education campaign around ways to compost at home. It's going to be a busy year!!!
