Indiana Code 13-7-1-1 mandates that the state's solid waste disposal be reduced 50 percent by the year 2001. To surpass this goal and provide more jobs for inmates, the Indiana Department of Correction (DOC) is developing recycling and composting operations at institutions throughout the state. Another objective is to generate good will in local communities by giving them an opportunity to bring leaves and other yard trimmings to prison compost sites at no charge. As a result of legislation passed by the Indiana General Assembly, communities are prohibited from placing grass clippings and leaves in landfills. In February, 1997, Ed Cohn, DOC commissioner, introduced the recycling and composting strategy to the executive staff, division directors, facility superintendents and parole supervisors. He solicited the involvement of all department operations and staff members at each facility. The program and goals also were submitted to the Indiana Board of Correction. This coordinated effort will significantly reduce the quantities of materials sent to the landfill and the associated tipping fees.
