It has been a busy few weeks and we have been getting a good supply of food waste from the canteen. We don't want smelly compost so this week we will be searching for extra carbon rich materials eg shredded paper, saw dust, straw or dried garden waste. The ratio should be about 5 carbon (dry) to 2 nitrogen (wet).
This week, I took two groups from the campus to the Redhill Waste Management Facility which is a landfill site. First, we toured the facility while Jennifer Bennett,the Waste Education Officer, gave us a very informative talk about how the different types of waste are managed at Redhill. After that, we visited the Education Centre where we talked about what we had seen.
