Composting

North Carolina’s solid waste policy reflects the state’s desire to reduce, reuse and recycle before turning to disposal as a management option for solid waste. To that end, the NC Legislature established a hierarchy of preferred alternatives to using landfills. The first option, after reduction, reuse and recycling, is composting.

Compost Demo Guide

The Division of Waste Management wants to encourage people and organizations to try composting. Our staff is committed to working closely with applicants and we have streamlined the permit application process for pilot and demonstration projects. In some cases, construction and siting requirements can be relaxed.

 Pilot and demonstration projects help us all learn more about the different ways composting can be used to reduce the amount of solid waste in our landfills. So read on to learn more about the process and give us a call. We stand ready to assist you in getting your project started.
