Composting! Residential Source Separated Organics Collection Toolkit: In 2009, more than 90 cities in the United States offered separate curbside collection for source separated organics (SSO) from residents (U.S. Residential Food Waste Collection and Composting, BioCycle, December 2009). The number of communities with SSO curbside programs was over double that reported in 2007. However, few of these communities are located in the southeast. In an effort to increase diversion of organics in the southeast, EPA Region 4 provide a grant to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, administered by the Georgia Recycling Coalition, to provide guidance and tools for local governments to evaluate the feasibility of residential curbside collection of SSO.
