[USCC] composting at condominiums and townhouses

[Tamara Thomas]

Hi Julie,

            I worked on a pilot program with a condominium in Redmond, WA to
provide foodwaste collection.  The collection and education aspect were what
we focused on rather than on-site composting, so we used dedicated totes in
the parking areas.  The primary challenges were - education and high
turnover of some units, finding space in the relatively small kitchens for
collection containers, and finding kitchen containers that were easily
washable to keep odors and insects down.

            Feel free to contact me directly if you would like to discuss
this further.

We have some developers of LEED certified properties interested in

composting opportunities they can provide to condos and townhouses. Any

suggestions or experiences would be greatly appreciated! Has anyone used

the Green Cone in these type of situations?
