DEMONSTRATION OF RECYCLING TODAY
A low-technology method of recycling yard waste will be demonstrated today,
1-3:30 p.m., at the Ingles Mountain landfill. Researchers from Virginia Tech
and specialists from the Virginia Department of Waste Management will explain
the composing process, odor control, temperature monitoring, mixes of
materials, uses for the final product and agricultural exemptions to yard
waste. The procedure uses a front-end loader or tractor with a bucket to turn
leaves, grass clippings and woody wastes into potting soil mixes, topsoil,
mulch or landfill cover.
