<br /> Comprehensive Revie w of <br /> S olid W aste Collection and Disposal Options <br /> <br /> <br />v2.1 189 10/22/12 <br /> UNC operates successful yard waste processing and paper recycling operations on <br />campus which would further provide feedstock. <br /> The Town generates a comparable volume of yard waste to contribute to the process <br />and can represent significant further gains in organic waste segregation from its <br />general population. <br /> Many universities, such as the University of Wisconsin and Michigan State <br />University, are moving ahead with anaerobic digestion projects for their organic <br />materials. <br />To gain a more firm understanding of the technical and economic requirements to support such a <br />project, SCS recommends that the Town and UNC secure grant funding for an engineering <br />feasibility study for this project. SCS is aware of available funding through the North Carolina <br />Biofuels Center for the upcoming budget year.
