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. However, as garbage production per capita and per year increased ;gin 1960 to 430 kg in 1987, cheminination also accelerated. This led to concern about excessive pollutants in compost and their impact on human health and the environment. Switzerland's...
متن کاملEffect of Yard Waste Compost on Crop Tolerance
The effects of a yard waste compost amendment and crop establishment on nematode populations and yields of suscep tible vegetable crops were determined in two tests in Florida in sites infested with the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita. Main plot treatments consisted of 269 mt/ha of a yard waste com post applied as a mulch, 269 mt/ha of the compost incorporated into the soil, and an ...
متن کاملNo-Tillage Field Corn and Vegetables Using Yard Waste Compost
Disposal of yard waste on farmland could help reduce the need for additional landfill disposal sites and should help improve soil quality and productivity. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of disposal of yard waste compost (YWC) on production of field corn (Zea mays) and vegetables. Several on-farm and experiment station studies were conducted from 1993 to 1994. Corn fora...
متن کاملBioaerosol emissions from a suburban yard waste composting facility.
The purpose of this study was to assess worker and community exposure to bioaerosols emitted from a suburban yard waste composting facility in northern Illinois, USA. Characterization of on- and off-site viable bioaerosols was undertaken through a total of 288 on- and off-site Andersen samples conducted over 10 sampling days. A total of 46 dust samples and 38 Kramer-Collins spore samples were a...
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...
