Source Separation – Two Bag (wet/dry) Advantages Ø efficient single-pass collection (lower collection costs) Ø the production of compost; Ø the stabilization of Wet waste residue; Ø the inability to hide unacceptable wastes (e. g. HHW, yard waste) in transparent bags. Ø compost carts not required Ø less education of the public required (sorting is simpler) Ø control of recovery rates occurs at the facility instead of in the home or curb, providing the flexibility to respond to market demands October 22, 2009 The Upside of Waste Management NEIA Workshop
