SWALCO received a USDA grant for a pilot community compost project. Activities include conducting a compost-to-farmland demonstration study, engaging community gardeners through education and outreach, and reducing and diverting food waste from landfills. Food is the single largest material in our US landfills, and 40 percent of all food produced for consumption goes uneaten. We are hopeful that efforts like these will help combat the great challenges facing our environment and us, today. Lake County is leading the way in developing opportunities to effectively divert food waste from our landfills by directing it to local compost processors, who in turn are converting into beneficial soil nutrients, said Executive Director of SWALCO, Walter Willis. SWALCO is proud to have been selected by the USDA to showcase the work we are doing because of the grant we were awarded in September of last year.
