“Composting: decomposition in a controlled way. “
“what is composting: decomposition happens in nature on its own. in composting they try to mimic what the nature does. but in composting there is the human factor that lets them decide what materials they are gonna use throughout the process. “
Important Points:
- the compost area focuses on the residential waste
- drop off opportunities to recycle their organic wastes-they placed grey garbage bins for this during the market days
- drop off areas that are accessible for subway and people traffic
- they are working for opening new drop off sites
- the buildings can enroll themselves for the drop off system
- this is a smaller scale composting site/ it is not industrial (there is one in staten island)
- when they are done with composting some of it stays in the park and the rest is used for street trees
- the most important help they get except the sponsors are the volunteers
