(WMTV) - Dane County announced Thursday that the county’s food scrap composting program has stopped more than one million pounds of food scraps from the landfills. People that live in Dane County can use the county’s free Scrap Stop drop-off sites and the commercial businesses that participate in the program. “One million pounds of food scraps is one million pounds that won’t take up space in our landfill or generate methane as it breaks down,” said County Executive Melissa Agard. “This milestone belongs to the residents and businesses who have made composting part of their routine. It shows what Dane County can accomplish when we give people a simple, accessible way to do the right thing for our environment.” Food scraps collected through the program are composted by Purple Cow Organics, turning waste into valuable soil. Accepted items include: <ul><li>Fruits and vegetables </li><li>Coffee grounds and loose-leaf tea </li><li>Eggshells </li><li>Beans and nuts </li></ul>Drop-off locations are available in Madison, Fitchburg, Verona, McFarland, the Madison Christian Community and the Mount Horeb Lions Club. A new location will open at 10 a.m. Saturday at Mandt Park in Stoughton. According to Dane County officials, more than 4,200 people have registered for the program. </div></body>
