چکیده
Yard waste consist of garden waste, generated by public parks and private gardens routine maintenance such as grass clippings, leaves from deciduous trees, flowers, fallen fruits, branches, twigs logs its composition vary greatly depending on the original location due to climate other environmental conditions. may represent a problem Municipal Solid Waste Management Programs large volume thus, it is necessary incentivize local composting programs. In this study we show brief disposal cost estimation different cities United States America Canada discuss how biowaste can be managed in order reduce costs with storage, transportation fees, encouraging utilization final product soil amendment, stimulating reinforcing circular economy concept. The composted yard not substitute use commercial products but acquisition conditioner well management. Update policies essential foment sustainable context.

Trends in Yard Waste Composting
HE TREND toward composting reached its peak in Switzerland in 1975 when approximately 10 percent-or over 200,000 tons-of garbage were composted.

متن کاملCarbon dioxide and ammonia emissions during composting of mixed paper, yard waste and food waste.
The objective of the work was to provide a method to predict CO2 and NH3 yields during composting of the biodegradable fraction of municipal solid wastes (MSW). The compostable portion of MSW was simulated using three principal biodegradable components, namely mixed paper wastes, yard wastes and food wastes. Twelve laboratory runs were carried out at thermophilic temperatures based on the princ...
متن کاملA Cost Analysis of Food Waste Composting in Taiwan
Taiwan’s Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) has enacted a food waste recycling policy since 2003 as an alternative of landfill and incineration for the final disposal of municipal solid waste. Recycled food waste is currently seen as a valuable material, especially when appropriate technology is developed. This paper conducts a cost/benefit analysis based on six cases of food waste c...
