Case Study: NEK Pilot Project

Introduction

The Northeast Kingdom Residential Food Scrap Drop-Off pilot was a collaborative effort between Highfields Center for Composting (HCC) and the Northeast Kingdom Waste Management District (NEKWMD). The purpose of this pilot project was to provide residents within the NEKWMD an easy, convenient method for recycling food scraps that did not involve processing the material at their own residence. This pilot creates a replicable model for residential food scrap drop-offs at waste district transfer stations.

The Northeast Kingdom Residential Food Scrap Drop-Off is a pilot project supported by a grant from the USDA Rural Development program.
