In this episode, Aston Brown from University Technology Sydney – and now a rural and regional reporter at Guardian Australia – takes us inside the world of people who forage through rubbish bins to collect bottles and cans for cash. Are they environmental warriors? Is it a hobby job? Or are they trying to earn precious money to make ends meet? This is the first in our Long Read series where we focus on one, in-depth story each episode.Reporter: Aston BrownOriginal story on Guardian Australia:‘The professional recyclers cashing in on Australia's bottles and cans'https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/15/people-see-rubbish-but-i-see-money-the-professional-recyclers-cashing-in-on-australias-bottles-and-cans Voice actor: Darryle Macdonald Executive Producer: Simon BradyMore stories from The Junction: https://junctionjournalism.com/Music 'There Is Only The Unknown Ahead' - Get Music - https://motionarray.com/browse/producer/getmusic/ ‘Come Back Home' – Olexy - https://pixabay.com/users/olexy-25300778/  Episode imageHans - https://pixabay.com/users/hans-2/ (The Junction social media)Jas Min - https://unsplash.com/@filmbetrachterin (The Junction website)

Welcome, green thumbs and gardening enthusiasts, to another exciting episode of the Veg Grower podcast! This week, we're diving deep into the fascinating world of wormeries – those incredible systems that turn organic waste into nature's very own "black gold." So, buckle up, because we're about to explore how these wriggling wonders can transform your garden and make a positive impact on the environment. What is a Wormery? A wormery, also known as a vermicomposting system, is a clever way to harness the power of worms to break down organic matter and produce nutrient-rich compost. These composting heroes are no other than earthworms, a gardener's best friends. They work tirelessly to convert kitchen scraps, garden waste, and even paper into a dark, crumbly, and highly nutritious compost that can breathe new life into your plants. Why Should You Embrace Wormeries? 1. Sustainable Waste Management: With wormeries, you can significantly reduce the amount of organic waste that ends up in landfills. By composting your kitchen and garden waste with the help of these eco-friendly helpers, you're actively contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle. 2. Nutrient-Rich Compost: The compost produced by wormeries is a powerhouse of nutrients. Worm castings, also known as "vermicast," are filled with essential minerals and beneficial microorganisms that promote soil health and plant growth. 3. Improved Soil Structure: Adding wormery compost to your soil enhances its structure, making it more airy and well-draining. This improved soil structure allows plant roots to access oxygen and water more effectively, leading to healthier and more robust plants. 4. Cost-Effective Solution: Wormeries are relatively low-cost and low-maintenance. Once established, they provide a continuous supply of compost, saving you money on commercial fertilizers and soil conditioners. Starting Your Own Wormery Setting up a wormery is straightforward, and you can do it in just a few simple steps: Step 1: Choose the Right Worms: Red worms (Eisenia fetida or Eisenia andrei) are the ideal species for vermicomposting. They thrive in organic matter and reproduce quickly, ensuring a steady workforce for your composting needs. Step 2: Select a Suitable Container: You can use a specially designed wormery bin or even a DIY solution using old containers. Ensure it has good ventilation and drainage to maintain a healthy environment for the worms. Step 3: Bedding and Feeding: Fill the container with moist bedding material such as shredded newspaper, cardboard, or coconut coir. Introduce the worms to their new home and start feeding them kitchen scraps like vegetable peels, coffee grounds, and fruit scraps. Avoid adding meat, dairy, oily foods, or pet waste. Step 4: Maintenance: Keep an eye on the moisture level and ensure the wormery remains moist but not waterlogged. Feed the worms regularly, but don't overfeed. Harvest the compost when it's ready, usually every few months. Podcast Highlights In this week's Veg Grower podcast, we delve deeper into the ins and outs of wormeries. Richard shares how he has successfully implemented wormeries in his garden, exploring their tips and tricks for a thriving vermicomposting system. We also have Scott's recipe of the week a delicious slow cooked runner bean with preserved lemons dish which is absolutely delightful. Don't forget we can only grow this podcast with your help.

One or two healthy chickens can significantly improve the health and prosperity of marginalized communities. Poultry recycle food scraps and garden waste, forage insects and worms to produce eggs which provide much needed protein and income. The Kyeema Foundation (https://kyeemafoundation.org/) is working with some of the world's poorest communities to protect household poultry from disease. Kyeema started out vaccinating village chickens across Africa and the Pacific to protect them from disease. They have more recently expanded into restoring coral reefs and mangroves to revitalise local fisheries.  Small holder farmers provide food to around 80% of the world's population. It is only through developing a deep understanding of these communities and leveraging local expertise, traditions, and capacity that Kyeema can work to improve food and nutrition security for some of the poorest communities. There are more than 608 million family farms around the world, occupying between 70 and 80 percent of the world's farmland and producing around 80 percent of the world's food in value terms. Around 70 percent of all farms, operating on just 7 percent of all agricultural land, are less than one hectare, while another 14 percent of farms, controlling 4 percent of the land, are between one and two hectares, and another 10 percent of all farms, with 6 percent of the land, are between two and five hectares.https://www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/1395127/icode/I recently caught up with Anthony to hear how he and his team are improving the reliance and health of their communities through sustainable local protein production.

All of Mumbai's memories and castaway possessions come to die at the Deonar garbage mountains. And among these vast, teetering piles of discarded things – medical waste, rotten food, old clothes, broken glass and twisted metal – a small, forgotten community lives and works. Scouring the dump for whatever can be resold or recycled, waste pickers also mark the familiar milestones of babies born, love found, illnesses suffered and recovered from. Like a mirror image, their stories are shaped by the influx of unwanted things from the world outside. But now, as Deonar's toxic halo becomes undeniable, a change is coming. And as officials try to close it, the lives that the pickers have built on the Mountain seem more fragile than ever. In this episode of BIC Talks, author of Mountain Tales: Love and Loss in the Municipality of Castaway Belongings, Saumya Roy and V Ravichandar, full time champion of lost causes and hon. Director of Bangalore international centre, delve deep into the process of writing this powerful and delightful book about people who are trapped in the gravitational force of a garbage mountain in Mumbai centred around a deeply moving love story with unforgettable characters while also illuminating a country and a culture.

June 15, 2022 — With the passage of SB 1383, Californians will be required to reduce organic waste in the landfill by 75% in the next three years. In a few weeks, a new large-scale compost facility will be available to most of Mendocino County, and buy-back recycling will re-open in Fort Bragg and Ukiah. Most of the county's non-recyclable, non- compostable trash goes to a landfill in Fairfield. The county and cities have composting contracts with Cold Creek Compost in Potter Valley, which is permitted to process 50,000 tons of material a year. On July 1, C&S Waste Solutions will take over the solid waste contract for Fort Bragg and Franchise Area 2, from Waste Management. C&S partner Bruce McCracken sketched out the area where residents can expect to see new containers, and new trucks, making the rounds. “Franchise Area 2 is kind of split in two, an inland portion and a coastal portion,” he explained. “The coastal portion being everything slightly north of Fort Bragg, and then south down to the Navarro river, so down towards Albion, et cetera. The inland portion is the Ukiah Valley: Redwood Valley, Potter Valley, Hopland. So basically the entire Ukiah Valley…I would like to add, though, on the trucks: one thing that the residential customers will see is that we run split-body trucks. So we co-collect. We collect garbage and recycling at the same time. And I know when people first see it, we're going to get a bunch of phone calls saying, you're mixing everything! But we're not. There actually is a wall in between, in the body of the vehicle. It's one less trip on the streets, so it helps the roads. It makes us more efficient…it makes no sense for us to mix the material, because it costs us money to go to the landfill.” In 2019, the company won a $3 million grant from the state to build a compost facility at the Ukiah transfer station. Like Cold Creek, it's permitted to process 50,000 tons a year, though it's currently able to process half that. The transfer station has been composting yard waste, but the new covered facility will take organic waste like food scraps, as well. And, after suspending buy-back recycling in 2019, C&S is promising to open beverage container recycling centers in Ukiah and Fort Bragg. McCracken estimates that in about three months, customers will be able to get their California Redemption Value refunds on bottles and cans. SB 1383 puts the burden of enforcement and education on the contractor, but McCracken says the hammer will come down incrementally. “If we note that there's prohibited material in the blue can or the green can, we will tag it. Our customer service staff will call the customer. We will send out literature explaining that this is what really goes into the blue or green can. A second time, you'll get a small fee, which in most cases we will waive. It's more of a wake-up, to say, hey. We can't accept this material in these carts. The third time, it's a little more serious, where there will be a charge levied against you for contamination, and if it continues, we have the ability to take the cart away. But we don't want to do that. I understand that everybody wants to recycle everything. But it's just not doable.” That's apparent at the old Alex Thomas pear shed in Ukiah, now transformed to a sorting facility where seventeen workers separate trash from recyclables. Plastic bags and plastic wrappers, says McCracken, are the enemy. “We don't want bags in the recycling, because that's where we find needles, too,” he said, over the roar of the machinery. “Needles are the biggest threat on the line.” There are other hazards, too. In the quiet section of the MRF, or Materials Recovery Facility, there is a huge pile of crushed glass. McCracken's not worried about glass. “Another thing that's really bad in the blue can are batteries,” he said. “Because it starts fires in MRF's, and it starts fires in garbage trucks.” He added that batteries need to be taken to Mendo Recycle during hazardous household waste events, or to the facility in Ukiah, which has limited hours of operation. “The amount of fires across the county in garbage trucks and at MRF's is escalating at an alarming rate, and it's batteries,” he warned. On the tipping floor, where workers extract sheets of plastic film from the recyclables, there are room-sized bales of material that are headed for the landfill. Clothes, pillows, foam mattresses and small appliances have all been pulled from the recycling stream. Some items, like hoses, call for extraordinary measures. “These are known as tanglers in the business, because they tangle up in the machinery,” he said, tugging on a length of hose strapped into one of the landfill bales. “So we literally, at the end of the shift, have to send people up there in harnesses, with knives, to cut it out of the machinery. It's a hard job as it is, and that's why people doing their part on the front end makes the job a lot easier.” Once the material makes its way out of Ukiah, there are a few options. McCracken says there are brokers on the West Coast who will take recyclables, but that “nothing goes to China anymore.” It does go to Pacific Rim countries, including South Korea. “There is a push to get more and more in-country facilities that will process this material,” he reported. On the far side of the crushed glass and the assembly line where McCracken says a couple hundred tons of material is sorted every day, there is an orphan pile of miscellaneous items that he hopes to educate out of the blue bins altogether. “I mean, there's a lot of stuff here, why would you ever think of putting it in the blue can?” he asked, nudging a brick with his foot. A beat-up old saddle was nestled in beside a chipped red enamel pot. “We see it all,” he confirmed, eyeing the mountain of trash.

If black soldier fly larvae could enter competitive eating contests, they would excel, especially when it comes to eating nasty stuff that we don't want around or wouldn't think of eating ourselves. The ability of the black soldier fly to convert low-grade organic waste into high-quality nutrients has opened-up a ground-breaking prospect for the large-scale production of animal feed. The high protein content of insects provides an immense opportunity to develop sustainable technology for the production of animal feed at a low cost. kanthari participant Adegbite Tobi Gabriel from Nigeria tell us about that.

Much has transpired since the last time we sat down with our favorite economist, Jason Schenker. Jason gives us an update on how the world affairs, such as the Russia/Ukraine war and the COVID-19 shut down in China, specifically affect the recycling and metal industries. With price shift and supply as a primary concern, in addition to inflation hitting labor, operational, and equipment costs, Jason tells us what he sees coming in months to come. However, in the grand scheme of things, according to the Federal Reserve Board, the US economy is still predicted to grow strong with the service consumption, fixed investments, and the employment-population ratio at incredibly high rates.

This is part of the decomposition job that many invertebrates do when an animal dies,Keratin is really hard to digest; Mammals and Birds can't do that (cat's fur-balls; owls ejected pellets, etc); these moths are therefore valued members of the RECYCLING SQUAD.This appears to be the most common carpet destroyer in Aotearoa; probably because our houses are a lot more “open” than – for instance – in Europe.Less insulation (especially in older homes), more moisture inside, not well sealed, wooden structures and draughty windowsWe also have this habit of living outside a lot: leaving windows and doors open in summer time, so that there is an unlimited indoor-outdoor flow.Carpet beetles are quite different from the clothes moths – different family of insects.Also a different life-cycle and different tactic of chewing on carpet.The adult beetles (those with the ability to reproduce) have a real beetle “look”… a little bit like miniature ladybird beetles: the membranous flight wings are hidden under some sturdy forewings:They are actually quite beautiful little beetles: patterned in browny-orange, white and black; a couple of millimetres in size that's all they are.But these beetles are not really your problem at all! In fact they are pretty useful pollinators in your garden.In mid-summer you can find dozens of them in your marigolds, yarrow and even pohutukawa flowers; I bet you that the vast majority of New Zealanders rarely notice them there!Later in summer when the beetles have mated, they fly into your home through the open door or window and lay their eggs in your woollen carpet.Little larvae will start gnawing at the keratin (wool), especially on the underside of the carpet backing, so that the woollen strands become loose and are easily sucked up the vacuum cleaner.They look a little like “hairy maggots” and they are pretty resilient down there.And just like the clothes moths, their habitat of choice is birds nests, lined with feathers and fur, as well as carcasses of dead rodents, hedgehogs and birdsBreaking down the keratin is their gig!The trick is simple. All you need is a clever enzyme that chops the protein into bits and you will have earned your reputation as one of the few insects that are literally able to split hairs.Like is the case with clothes moths: control can be achieved with some residual insecticides – active ingredients such as permethrin and other synthetic pyrethroids will do the job well; (Safeworx aerosol cans)It works well and is residual for 6 to 8 weeks, as long as the substrate treated is not exposed to direct sunlight

In this interview, biologist and animal advocate Dr. Balcombe helps us appreciate an ecologically beneficial group of animals who are buzzing all around us but whom we mostly ignore, malign, or swat away -- flies -- the topic of his new book “Superfly: The Unexpected Lives of the World's Most Successful Insects" (Penguin Press, 2021). For this "In Tune to Nature" show, host Carrie Freeman asks Dr. Balcombe to focus on the vital role of flies as pollinators of flowers and food crops (including chocolate!), and as waste disposers, composters, and recyclers (they literally clean up everyone's sh*t) so that we better appreciate them and don't just view them as "pests" (from fruit flies, to house flies, to blow flies, even to mosquitos and midges). We end with ways to protect the important insect population in decline by avoiding insecticide poisons. Learn more about award winning author Dr. Balcombe and his efforts to protect animals and help us understand animal sentience at www.jonathan-balcombe.com  The In Tune to Nature show airs each Wednesday 6:30-7pm EST, hosted by Carrie Freeman, Sonia Swartz, or Melody Paris, on 89.3FM WRFG (Radio Free Georgia).

In the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, waste pickers are anxious about losing their livelihoods. They've had less recyclable waste to sell since the pandemic set in. And though it's been more than three months since the government reopened the economy, people just aren't tossing things away. Adesewa Josh tells us more. #Kenya #RefuseRecyclers #Lockdown

Metal recyclers fear the government's increasing waste levy will make metal recycling unprofitable - meaning no cash back for scrapping your car or other metal.

Aspergeboeren komen nauwelijks van hun oude landbouwfolie af door de hoeveelheid aanhangend zand. Recyclers kunnen dit zand niet handelen in hun waslijn. En doordat de folie om stangen gewikkeld zit, is het niet te shredderen. Dit probleem is Europabreed. In deze podcast gaat Martin Snijder in gesprek met Gerard Weernink, directeur Clear Polymers. Clear Polymers ontwikkelde een lokale verwerkingsmethode. De folie wordt voorgereinigd bij de boer en hij krijgt de stang meteen teruggeleverd. Dit scheelt transport en doordat het zand bij de boer blijft hoeft het niet afgevoerd te worden als afval.

The recycling industry, like the rest of the world, is coping with the massive disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic. Joe Pickard, the chief economist of the Institute for Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), shares his insights into how recycling will change as a new normal emerges after the pandemic. Even as homeowners and apartment-dwellers send more recyclables through curbside programs, the commercial recycling market has slowed with closures and declining manufacturing. The results are that overall recycling rates have fallen in most states, such as California and Oregon.After closures, many recycling programs are re-opening with new employee safety programs. And recycling firms will fail. Those without the cash to get through the crisis are at the greatest risk, Pickard explains. Recyclers are wrestling with the changing requirements for the Payroll Protection Program loans from the Small Business Administration, but before the pandemic investments in U.S. recycling was on the increase. Perhaps the "new normal" will be a more efficient and innovative recycling infrastructure.Join the conversation and share your thoughts with the community in our Earthling Forum.

Eric is the Waste Reduction manger at The University of Kansas. He handles administrative duties for KU Recycling as well as  other issues on campus related to municipal solid waste such as collection scheduling, vendor relations, market conditions, and community partnerships/outreach. With almost 10 years in sustainable waste management, Eric focuses on a holistic approach to waste focusing on reduction, recycling, and fiscal responsibility. While at Johnson County Community College in Overland Park Kansas he oversaw the development and operation of the first in-vessel compost system at an educational institution in the state. Eric is certified as a Compost Site Manager from the University of Maine, a board member of the Kansas Organization of Recyclers and the YP Representative for the Sunflower Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America. Eric attended Johnson County Community College and The University of Kansas. Eric Joins Sustainable Nation to Discuss: Leading waste reduction in large organizations Recycling is not the answer What is need to move towards a circular economy Advice and recommendations for sustainability leaders Eric's Final Five Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers? I would say keep a good attitude and keep a sense of humor. Sense of humor would be the most important thing. I think it's very easy to get bogged down when you do this work day after day and see the challenges that we're up against, but I think it's important to keep your eye on the prize so to speak, or you just not get bogged down by the work we do. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? I'm really excited about the push to more of a circular economy and seeing how the manufacturers are going to come up with ways to maybe use some of the new commodities that we're trying to find homes for here in the United States. I think there's a big opportunity right now for innovation, so looking forward to seeing that in the next decade or so. What is one book you would recommend sustainability leaders read? I would say my favorite is Junkyard Planet by Adam Minter. It's almost outdated now with China in the last two years, but it kind of broke down where your aluminum can goes after it goes into the recycling bin and its journey across the sea and into a container ship. So it's a great background on waste management. What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in the work that you do? I'm a big fan of the CURC webinar series, so that's College and University Recycling Coalition. About every month they do a new one when the school starts back up. I try to stay on those, to kind of see what colleagues are doing across the country. Lots of great ideas. Solid Waste Association of North America is kind of an industry trade group for waste management. They have a lot of of great resources and learning opportunities as well. I'd say those are my two main ones and then I try to network as much as possible with colleagues Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the work you're leading at the University of Kansas. We're at recycle.ku.udu. KU Recycling is also on Instagram, even though I'm still learning how to use it effectively as a recycling guy. We are on Twitter as well. I'm on Linkedin if anybody wants to be professional and reach out on Linkedin, I'm there too. That's probably where our social media outreach is right now. We're not on Snapchat. We're not that hip.

Recycling is economically possible because there is a market for recyclable goods. However, a good deal of that market demand comes from Asia, and with the recent global economic downturn, recycling markets have become incredibly volatile and unpredictable, causing instability in our domestic recycling efforts. Recyclers are stockpiling recyclable materials in hopes of an upturn in the market, but if that doesn't occur, how long before our recyclables end up in landfills? Listen in to find out what professionals in the recycling industry in America are doing to maintain our commitment to recycling.
