Visit Green Waste Technologies Today

Visitors are welcome today (Saturday, Sept. 14) at a new company that will begin picking up food waste for recycling next week. The open house is from 2 to 4 p.m. at 1355 West Front Street.

Olive Lynch, president of  Green Waste Technologies, Inc., has received various approvals for the operation  in which black soldier flies digest food scraps and produce larvae that can be processed to feed fish or chickens, or to become biofuel. Lynch will explain the collection system for the food waste, which involves use of containers that will be transported by a horse-drawn wagon in a further move to improve the environment.

Those who attend can sign up for the food waste recycling service and receive a container.*see comment Rides on the wagon drawn by horses Abbie and Katie will be available, along with children's rides on a small wagon drawn by miniature horses Ben and Jerry.

The food waste recycling service will be available in Plainfield, Dunellen and other Central Jersey towns. To learn more, see Lynch's blog here or her web site here.

  1. Thanks Bernice for getting the word out.

    Unfortunately, due to a death in his family, my driver Marc won't be at the event, so we can't offer carriage rides today.

    But, all the horses would love petting and brushing!

    We'll do a rain date on the rides!

  2. Who is going to clean up after the horses?

  3. The girls will wear a "horse diaper". It's a bag that hangs under their bottoms and attaches to the wagon.

    If you look on our blog, you'll see pictures where they were wearing them at the Dunellen Street Fair, as well as the PMUA Environmental Fair.

    We also carry a bucket and shovel in the wagon, just in case.

    The girls don't pee out on the road. They only pee in their stalls. Many horses wait until they are back in their stalls to pee. Kinda like people not using public bathrooms, but waiting until they get home!
