Montana
Montana
Department of Environmental Quality
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality supports composting as
a means of soil enrichment, erosion control, solid waste reduction, and
greenhouse gas reduction. As a means of promoting backyard composting,
DEQ has launched the Backyard Gold Compost Project 2003. Through participating
in the "Backyard Gold" compost bin sale, you have added over
3000 composting systems to Montana. By using your system you will be helping
divert nearly 1000 tons of material from landfills, as well as improving
Montana soil.
South Dakota
South
Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources
In 1995 the state of South Dakota enacted a plan to reduce the amount
of wastes disposed of in landfills. As a part of this plan, yard waste
may no longer be taken to a landfill for disposal. Instead of burying
yard waste in landfills, composting has become an important way to recycle
yard waste.
North Dakota
Composting
in Your Backyard
The North Dakota Department of Health Pollution Prevention Program (P2)
works with business and industry across the state of North Dakota to minimize
waste generation and provide innovative management practices to reduce
waste disposal, with the public of North Dakota to present information
on waste management and recycling issues and with local governments to
provide assistance in starting recycling programs. The P2 Program's Web
page contains a well-organized description of the composting process including
step-by-step instructions.
