Compost USA . Sarahccusa@ aol.com Marion County is known as "horse country", and to protect Silver Springs, Marion County Commissioners, mandated by the government, banned horse manure from being dumped into the springs, sinkholes, etc. Companies that sponsor green energy are taking over. Composting is being accused of smelling. Of course, it will have an earthly smell, but it is not an offensive smell, if you can even smell it. Marion County is trying to ban a business in Ocala, Fl.

You'll get better compliance when people WANT to engage in a behavior versus forcing them and getting all sorts of non-compostables tossed in the bin. My neighbor hates this law and makes sure to dispose of all their cooking oil and shredded plastic film in their green bin. When the plastic's reduced to a very,very small size, it's hard to tell it apart from coffee grounds. I think an education program should have preceded any mandatory composting law.

I live just over the bridge and our town STILL doesn't even allow composting for apartment dwellers. I hope this will become mandatory all across the state!
