A significant fraction of the solid waste generated in the
U.S. is organic material like yard trimmings and food scraps
that can be recycled through small-scale composting. The Cornell
Waste Management Institute has a website: http://cwmi.css.cornell.edu/composting.htm.
The site provides information for both composters and for
educators seeking to promote home composting. Resources include
