The project will demonstrate proper design and operations and help to promote diversion of this major source of feed waste in Florida. The project is conceived as a demonstration of what can be accomplished under the proposed revisions to Chapter 62-709. F.A.C. that provides a registration process for source-separated pre-consumer food waste composting. Separate compost piles will be constructed using vegetative waste versus animal by-products, incorporating yard trash as the bulking agent.
