Food Waste Processing: Lessons Learned At Composting Facilities

Speaker: Nora Goldstein, Editor, Biocyle and Robert Spencer, Environmental Planning Consultant, Sterling, Massachusetts

Food waste makes up a sizeable portion of our waste stream, but in many areas it is not separated from other municipal solid waste and consequently sent for landfill disposal. This session will take a look at a few different composting facilities and the challenges they face in processing food waste.

Covered in the presentation will be:

Know Your Feedstocks: Composition, physical/biological characteristics of source separated food waste stream

Wet and Sloppy: Materials handling requirements

Have Yard Waste Site, Will Be Fine: Processing realities, technology options

Starting on the Right Foot: Tried and true composting recipes

Source Separated But....: Addressing issues of glass and plastic contamination

The Finer Points: Year-round site access, accepting biodegradable plastics, communication with generators and haulers

The Bottom Line: Tip fees, processing costs, end product pricing
