| Abstract/Contents: | "Source separated composting of organic waste is becoming well established in Europe, with pilot and full scale biowaste collection programs in at least eight countries in 1992." Biobin collection and recycling programs are successfully operating in European communities, accomplishing landfill diversion goals of 50 percent or more."There are three primary classifications of solid waste and recyclable materials collection systems in Europe, of which there are many hybrids. They are classified as: 1) Integrated systems-collection of recyclable, compostable, and residual materials is carried out by the same organization in one procedural step using the same vehicle. A single partitioned bin, or several bins may be used; 2) Additive Systems - recyclable materials are collected in addition to normal household refuse pick up by means of separate vehicles and separate bins; 3) Drop-Off Depots - recyclable materials are deposited at central locations by the waste generator." |
