Nicole: You may wish to consider joining the compost listserve to find out
more info on good examples of municipalities that have taken a practical
leadership role in retrieving compostable waste. Also for examples of
corporations which have taken action on the 3 Rs, you may wish to consult the
publications called: "Workplace Guide" and "Working your way to a Green Office".
