5 In Lincoln County, with a 57% recycling rate, there are two composting and mulching entities that keep just about all of the local forest thinning and yard trimmings out of the waste stream. Greentree Solid Waste Authority, which manages solid waste and recycling for the region, also has a strong recycling program which includes commercial cardboard, and residential collections where materials are collected using the single stream method at drop offs and at the curb. The Village of Ruidoso has their own robust recycling collection program as well, which includes businesses having access to cardboard and mixed recyclable drop offs throughout the town that are conveniently located near existing trash dumpsters. Almost half of the recycling tonnage reported in Lincoln County came from yard trimmings and brush recycling. Scrap metals and cardboard were the next most recycled items. Otero County has a 22% recycling rate and a 54% diversion rate. Diversion rates include materials that have been beneficially used on a local application, while recycling rates are calculated using US EPA recycling rate standards for such items as traditional household recyclables, yard waste, scrap metal, electronics and glass. These rates include the extensive recycling activities on Holloman Air Force Base and at the Mesa Verde Landfill, which hosts a robust green waste diversion program. The recycling rates in this county were accomplished in part due to their strong yard waste, scrap metals, cardboard and tire diversion programs. Holloman Air Force Base has a strong recycling and diversion program, to include its own residential curbside collection program on the base. Otero County accepts tires, yard waste, scrap metals, cardboard and other household recyclables from throughout the county. 5

7 The situation is similar to collecting any other recyclable item, you must know your markets and how local businesses, government and citizens can use this material. Communities wouldn t collect cardboard w/o a plan to process and/or sell the material organics need a plan as well. 7

27 What do you use compost for in your business? We use it mostly for large applications such as reseeding and planting but not for veggie gardens. How many approx. acres have you applied compost to at one time? Around acres How much compost do you apply? Around 10 dump truck loads, 120 cubic yards How many times a year do you apply compost? What times of year are best for your application? It depends when the clients want it, usually between May Oct, we use it most for reseeding which happens in the spring and fall. What is the application rate you apply at? Usually for seeding at 1" 2" tilled in and as one third of the backfill soil for trees or shrubs 27
28 MVM Farm has been using compost to amend our soil for the past three years. Staff applies a compost tea to our entire field at least once per month. Compost is also mixed with soil when growing starters from seed. We roto till the compost into the row beds using a roto tiller. Some examples of the crops grown at MVM Farm are: melons, tomatoes, peppers, garlic, zucchini, summer squash, beans, collards, broccoli, lettuce, kale, eggplant, beets, carrots and swiss chard. Using compost is a good way to amend our soil, as the soil has a good amount of clay in it. Adding compost improves the soil structure and allows the plant roots to more easily take up nutrients. Another pro of making our own compost out of food scraps, manure, yard waste and paper means that there are less of these entering our landfills and dump. MVM Farm uses compost because mixed with soil, it helps grow better crops. We create our compost in bins. These are basically squared off areas made out of chicken wire. We pile up the compostable materials, water and stir.it takes several months for the process to be complete and create a compost that is broken down enough to be useable. MVM Farm also does vermiculture or vermicomposting. Vermicomposting uses worms to turn waste aka food scraps, manure, yard waste and paper into a nutrient rich fertilizer. MVM Farm uses red wiggler worms, a worm known best for composting or chewing through organic waste material and creating castings which make for a great fertilizer or component of worm tea. Worm castings are too nutrient rich to be used as a growing medium by themselves, they should be mixed with soil (1 part worm castings to 6 part soil). 28
