Greenhouse!

Compost Thesis

I am working on my master's thesis: The Economic, Technical, and Political Feasibility of Municipal Composting in Asheville, North Carolina.  Here's some images of the facilities I have been visiting:

The Mount Vernon Avenue Recycling and Composting Facility in Bakersfield, CA

This is the pilot commercial food waste composting project in Asheville, Danny Keaton's Danny's Dumpster (http://dannysdumpster.com)

This is Mark Langner's Maytime Composting vermiculture

And finally, Peninsula Compost Group's Wilmington Organic Recycling Center
