Excerpt from Vegetable Wastes: Availability and Utilization

The Eastern Regional Research Laboratory has undertaken to find industrial uses for the waste incident to the commercial production and processing of vegetables. This waste, which occurs on the farm and at the packing shed and processing plants, consists essentially of the dis carded culls, vines, leaves, teps or roots, trimmings and peelings. In addition, there is another large source of waste in the crops that are not harvested because of unsatisfactory quality, market conditions, and shortage of labor.

Because of the highly perishable nature of this waste and its rapid accumulation, it must be disposed of as quickly as possible. On the farm it is usually fed to livestock, if suitable, or turned under to enrich the soil. The processing plant waste may be returned in part, to neighboring farms, hauled to a dump, or treated for sewage disposal. These methods, however, entail expense.
