Some of you may be aware of the new CA State Laws that passed recently that mandate the diversion of organic materials from landfills. In an effort to create a closed loop system, we're interested in conserving our organic materials to create compost locally. We'd like to hear your thoughts about small scale composting in Paradise to process all our food waste materials.
