Expanding composting capabilities on the Cape is the focus of the Barnstable County Food Waste Subcommittee of the Cape and Islands Health Agents Coalition, started late last year.
The committee, headed by David Quinn, municipal assistance coordinator for Barnstable County/MassDEP and Amy L. Alati at the Barnstable County Department of Health and Environment, includes trash haulers, county officials and small business owners interested in food waste composting on the Cape.
“We are at an early stage to identify potential locations to have pilot compost facilities,” Mr. Quinn said.
