• We are a community working group
focused on organics diversion, regional
composting options and community
partnerships.
• Goal: To increase the number of compost
sites that accept food waste, and to make
food waste diversion a economically viable
option for local businesses on Cape Cod.
• Membership: County & Town officials,
local waste haulers, compost site
operators, farmers, consultants/private
industry, compost start-ups, restaurants,
and interested citizens.
• Our Role: To educate businesses and
residents about food waste diversion and
facilitate discussion about potential
solutions among various stakeholders.
4. • Food waste and vegetative material
• Commercial/institutional
generators that dispose of 1 ton
food waste or more per week
• ~1,700 entities potentially subject
to the ban
• Took effect on October 1, 2014

composting/animal-feed operations
or shipped to an anaerobic
digestion (AD) facility.

15. Robert Rynk, On-Farm Composting Handbook
Involves the formation of composting
windrows and the periodic turning of the
windrows with a bucket loader, windrow
turner, or excavator.
Involves the formation of piles over perforated
aeration channels or ducts that push or pull air
through the material in a controlled manner with
blowers. Positive Aeration is when air is pushed
through the composting material. Negative Aeration
is when air is pulled through the composting
material.
16. Contained composting systems in which the
composting materials are processed and
aerated by a system of agitation or forced
aeration and often a combination of the two.
Forming piles in large bins and turning them
periodically, usually from one bin to the other.

Editor's Notes
There is no one-solution. Open to ideas of all shapes and sizes.
We want to give you the tools to work towards improving our organics infrastructure.
Open to the public.
Participation is collaborative and encouraged.
Print out DEP list in case people ask for specifics.
We compiled a list of farms that we know of
This is the outreach part… Three dialogue meetings to open up the conversation with potential sites.
New services add new jobs and more opportunity but our clients have to have a need and a want to support it
Infrastructure is all but non existent for a private hauler of our size to offer this very important service
We are all in this together to create the infrastructure
There is no “cookie cutter” solution as each town has it’s own hurdles to jump over to make this work
