I dunno. Landfill space is getting harder to find in these parts ( all over I gather). A good portion of this is used at a big demonstration garden up at one of the parks in the hills that also has a productive sort of petting zoo/working farm.
They're trying to rig it so the produce from the farm brings it to break even point and then they have the kiddie education thing for free.
My mother and her new husband did a Mormon mission in Jakarta a couple years back and they say the air pollution there is like 4 times LA at its worst and a big part of that is from the burning of yard waste. It's a common ritual. One wonders if and when they'll manage to institute a weekly pickup of compostables.
