Great article about food waste (“We Compost program is striking ‘black gold’ in Clark County,” The Columbian, Feb. 6). Why not have composting deposit bins at grocery stores? That’s where the food comes from and most families stop at a grocery store at least once per week.
In Germany, they have dumpsters at the edge of the grocery stores’ parking lots: One for brown glass, one for green glass, one for clear glass, one for approved plastics, one for approved paper, one for food wastes.
People riding buses or train/trolleys to work also carry bags to recycle dumpsters for their endpoints.
Some people don’t think recycling anything is very important or many Americans are just lazy.
When we lived in Forsyth County, Ga., they had a bin for yard waste, including tree limbs up to 2 inches in diameter.
