Members said Compost.com runs a pilot with Davidson County Schools that diverted roughly 30% of food waste; the board asked staff to explore whether a similar commercial/municipal pilot could work in Sumner County.

The board discussed a commercial composting model presented previously by Clay Ezell of Compost.com (Nashville) and a pilot with Davidson County Schools that the Chair said diverted a substantial share of food waste. The Chair presented the pilot as a model for approaching commercial and institutional food-waste diversion in Sumner County.
