Abstract
Composting as a waste management tool can play a major part in recycling efforts. Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) was contracted to conduct a study for the Department of Waste Management to determine the feasibility of a statewide yardwaste composting program. Due to their firsthand knowledge of yardwaste compost, Extension agents were surveyed to ascertain their perceptions on uses and users of this material. The results of the survey were used to recommend needed public educational programs and pilot projects for the state. As a result of the feasibility study, several bills were introduced in the General Assembly and funds were authorized for VCE to prepare the Virginia Yardwaste Management Manual.
