The structure of the Composting Makes Sense Program will be very similar to the Recycling Makes Sense Program. 

Furthermore, the goals of this program are the same as those for the Recycling Makes Sense Program – to create a monetary incentive to increase diversion, in this case, of yard waste and other qualifying organic materials from disposal in landfill facilities and to spur innovation and the sharing of ideas.  Other qualifying organic materials include all source separated organic materials sent for composting with the exceptions of animal waste (manure) and biosolids. All existing and new yard waste programs sponsored by or on behalf of unites of local government will be eligible for funding.
