The waste management plan objectives and concerns were first identified through consultation with Abbey Gardens. The research shows that the top two most utilized landfills in each municipality are close to reaching maximum capacity in the upcoming years, therefore the need for Abbey Gardens is apparent. Based on the types of organic materials most readily available in Haliburton County three different composting systems are suggested. The systems suggested for Abbey Gardens are windrow composting, aerated static piles, and/or the Rocket.

The significance of these results also identifies information gaps and a set of future recommendations of research and projects will be presented to allow for the support and development of Abbey Gardens in the upcoming years. This paper should be utilized as a starting point to develop a sound composting system in the rural Haliburton County.
