Resources: Markets – FORCE (floridaforce.org)
In Florida one of the largest opportunities as a buyer of compost is the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). This page outlines the FDOT’s collaboration over the years with the State’s Department of Environmental Protection and recycling associations. Those interested in marketing compost to the FDOT can educate themselves on the benefits of their product for FDOT roadside projects, as well as its impact on erosion and sediment control throughout FL. One resource is a presentation from the FDOT on current and potential uses of compost in their operations. For more information on the FDOT’s use of organics consider visiting the FORCE FDOT Market Page.
These resources can be accessed under the RESOURCES tab on the site’s navigation bar. FORCE’s mission is to provide a framework to promote organics recycling and serve as an educational clearinghouse of information for the Florida organics recycling industry and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. Miriam Zimms is the FORCE Technical Manager and Director of Programs for Kessler Consulting, Inc.
