I always thought it would be cool if someday our cities picked up our green scraps just like they do our trash and recycling. Why not? Save space in the landfills, throw some new soil into local parks and gardens, and create some new city jobs in the process…
San Francisco has done just that. Their “3-Cart Curbside Recycling Program” provides an innovative model for waste management that seeks up to 75% of the city’s waste to recycling by the year 2010. Businesses and private residents are coming together with city to make this happen. Check out San Francisco’s Environmental Department to learn more about this ambitious and groundbreaking (no pun intended!) citywide program.

I think San Fransisco is doing a great job of innovative thinking.
Here in NJ our communities have leaf and brush pick up several times a year, but that cuts out on grass clippings and food scraps. I think all states should model their efforts after San Fransisco. Think of the amount of landfill space we would save and by composting all that green matter, it could get put back into the community by offering it to homeowners for their yards.
Our township delivers Free Leaf Compost and shredded mulch made from brush and branches. Great stuff!
We have our own compost, but I’m afraid most do not. This would get people to do what is necessary if it was made available and mandated by the localities.
Toronto’s program also picks up organic matter.
thats cool i wish utah would recycle more its pathetic up here
