"Compostable materials like food scraps, paper waste, bathroom towels and
plant trimmings will be collected from the airport and loaded into a
1,600-square-foot pre-composter with odor controls. Once the materials
are partially broken down in the pre-composter, they will be fed to 300
pounds of worms, living in an 8,000-square-foot worm bin."
The end of the article raises an important point!
"Ron Danise, who owns a nearby company that sells castings-based soil
amendments, was skeptical that the worms would be able to break down
meat, bones and paper towels, given their preferred diet of fruit and
vegetable trimmings."
I wonder if they intend to have people sort their food waste, or if they really think the worms will break down meat and dairy waste...
