Whats the level of participation in home composting?
Fifty-two percent of those who live in single-family dwellings were composting some fraction of their yard trimmings in 2004. This was up significantly from the 44 percent who reported composting yard trimmings in 1996, but not significantly different from the 55 percent participation rates in the 1998 and 2001 surveys. Food scrap composting participation increased from 26 percent in 1996 to 30 percent in 1998 and leveled off in 2001 with 32 percent and in 2004 with 31 percent.
