early 1991, is making a comeback, according to waste education and enforcement officer Ms Jane Brett.

The project aims to educate residents on the importance and benefits of composting as well as provide people with the means to do so, she noted.

"I want to rejuvenate the project in an attempt to educate those who have the capacity to compost,'' said Ms Brett, adding that not everybody has the property or garden space to compost, but those who do should make the effort.

In 1991, the waste management section of the Ministry of Works & Engineering brought in composting bins in cooperation with local nurseries.

The bins were sold at cost and the project was completed. This year, however, Ms Brett hopes to expand the project by offering a service or hotline for people with questions to call.

And she plans to hold seminars and workshops on composting practices early next year.

"This fall, we want to bring in the bins, and complete the development work.

And in January, 1996, we'll begin teaching the public,'' said Ms Brett, adding that she hopes for a lot of participation.

Wider composting practices will help the Tynes Bay Incinerator become more efficient as it removes wet waste from the stream.

Noted Ms Brett: "Wet waste causes the burning temperature to drop so the incinerator becomes less efficient.

"As well, composting is great for the soil,'' she said.

COMPOSTING FOR COVER -- Site management officer Mr. Dennis Spencer stands in front of a windrow, which is a blend of horticultural and organic waste, at the Marsh Folly plant. The compost will eventually be mixed with rubble and used to cover the former dump.
