Where does food and compostable waste collected go for processing?
Food waste and other acceptable household compostables go to International Composting Corporation’s (ICC) processing facility, located at Duke Point in Nanaimo. ICC’s enclosed plant uses ground yard and garden waste, household and commercial food waste, and fish waste. These materials are composted using an in-vessel process that generates temperatures sufficient to ensure maximum pathogen reduction. The finished products include compost, fertilizers, and soil amendments, all of which meet international standards. For more information, visit ICC’s Website at www.internationalcomposting.
