A venture of Plainfield resident Olive Lynch, GWT recycles food waste through using Black Soldier flies, whose larvae consume and recycle the food waste. The end result is a product that can be used as a biofuel or as food for fish farming.
Visitors will see how the plant functions as well as have an opportunity to sign up to have household food waste collected as part of the program. Rides will be available on the now-familiar wagon seen on Plainfield streets and pulled by Abbie and Katie.
Green Waste Technologies is in the former Mack Truck complex, at 1355 West Front Street.

What a lovely day for these activites...were it not Yom Kippur, which excludes an entire segment of the population of our city and those surrounding us. It was either poor planning, disregard, or disrespect.
