In Fort Worth, TX, a resident can get two compost pails for $20 from the city: one for the kitchen and a 5 gallon one for a week's worth of food scraps; and residents then take that, and any other waste that needs special handling eg batteries, old paint etc to one of many locations in this sprawling area. If this can be done here, we can re-invent cost effective, land conserving, less pollution ways to manage waste in Virginia.

Please pass legislation REQUIRING all jurisdictions to plan and enact capture of organic materials for composting, stop the burning of all plastics. Enact laws that require the recycling of all food grade glass back into food grade glass. We're squandering the resources we've been given.
