[USCC] pizza waste

[Paul Olivier]

The scenario is;
A commercial quantity of pizza factory wastes - containing 'large volumes'
of; pizza bases, grated cheese, whole peperoni salamis & pressed sandwich
ham, tomato based pizza sauce - with a small volume of vegetables - all with
a high level of preservatives & received from the factory as 'very fresh'
materials

Q1, Is anyone successfully composting this type of material.....any special
techniques?
-------------
The fastest way to compost pizza waste, bread or any other type of 
putrescent waste is by means of the larvae of the black soldier fly. In 
Australia, wild populations of black soldier flies would thrive in these 
bioconversion units throughout the year.

Imagine a bioconversion process that reduces the weight and volume of food 
waste by over 95% within a matter of just a few hours. The process requires 
no energy, no electricity, no chemicals, not even water. The process is 
totally self-contained. It produces no effluent, and aside from a small 
amount of CO2, it produces no methane or other greenhouse gases. The process 
is housed within a container that resembles a small plastic garbage bin. The 
unit has no moving parts and requires no maintenance. Since it must be 
emptied but once a year, it eliminates altogether the collection, transport 
and landfilling of food waste. It can be situated out-of-doors in a shaded 
area, and any number of units can be coupled together to handle unlimited 
quantities of waste. The process generates very little odor, and at the same 
time, it very effectively repels houseflies and other filth-bearing flies. 
The unit requires very little expertise or experience to operate, it sells 
for less than $35 US dollars, and it can handle the daily food waste of more 
than 25 people. The process not only generates its own heat, but it also 
regulates and stabilizes heat to assure maximal bioconversion throughout the 
winter months. The process is driven by a tiny creature native to the whole 
of the Americas, a creature that poses no threat to humans and has never 
been associated in any way with the transmission of disease. Yet at the same 
time, this benign creature possesses one of the most robust digestive 
systems within nature. It thrives in the presence of salts, alcohols, 
ammonia and a variety of food toxins. Upon reaching maturity, it migrates 
out of the unit and into a collection bucket without any human or mechanical 
intervention. This self-harvesting grub represents a bundle of nutrients 
that rivals in commercial value the finest fish meal. This creature can also 
be used to process poultry waste as well as human and swine feces.
