We are pleased to announce that Eureka Recycling’s commercial composting program was recently selected as a finalist for the 2010 Environmental Initiative Awards, which are organized each year by the Minnesota Environmental Initiative (MEI).
The program initially worked with restaurants and grocery stores, and then took on the greater challenge of partnering with the Mill City Farmers Market, the Mill City Museum, and the entire mixed-use Mill Ruins Building, including its individual tenants, building management, and maintenance staff. In 2009 alone, the project’s 22 partnering businesses composted a total of 984,000 pounds of material, creating a greenhouse gas emission reduction equivalent to 1,415 metric tons of carbon dioxide, which is the same effect as taking 245 cars off the road for a year!
