Ohio Makes Composting Easier for Schools

Monday, February 14th, 2011

The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) has drafted a new Administrative Code chapter (3745-560) now making it easier to compost. The new regulations include an exclusion from the need to obtain an annual solid waste license. Before, compost facilities have to establish financial assurance but no more, with these changes you can basically DIY and make you own compost facility. Registration and operational requirements would still apply.
