In order to help the City meet its goal of reducing its production of solid waste which must be placed in a county solid waste landfill, every citizen, every household, every occupant or owner of any residential dwelling, and every owner or occupant of any commercial or industrial establishment is encouraged to compost all of the compostable materials produced on site. Composting should be done in a manner which is generally recognized to be sanitary, environmentally effective, and useful for the property owner. A well-recognized guideline in Minnesota for composting is produced by the University of Minnesota Extension Service (Department of Soil Science), entitled “Composting and Mulching: A Guide to Managing Organic Yard Wastes,” (Publication No. AG-FO-3296, revised 1988).
