| The BEVERAGE CONTAINER CAPTURE PROJECT |
| The Beverage Container Capture Project is sponsored by the Alberta Beverage Container Recycling Corporation. It is under the "Community Partnership" program the ABCRC is promoting. The purpose of the partnership is twofold: first - to increase the amount of beverage containers being diverted from the landfill, and second - to get the funds to non-profit societies operating in communities. |
| Composter Parts: (some of the gearing is brand new - oh well! We tried!). It is windpowered and turns very slowly to aerate and keep moisture evenly distributed throughout the pile. Theoretically, the feedstock (the raw materials you put in like grass clippings, leaves, fruit & vegetable peels), will be there for about a week, travelling down the tube. When the mixture reaches the exit, it should be a lovely black mulch, ready to go into a static pile for about 4 months. It would be ready to mix with soil as a nutrient in about 6 to 8 months. |
| We won't brag that this is the first bicycle-powered _____ in existence, or ever invented, but it IS the first on public display in Peace River! Come up to the PCRS Recycling Centre and try out your legs on the bike, see how long you can get the _______ to operate! Imagine the amount of carbon fuel needed to run your _______ in your home! |
