Question:
I am trying to find how many years it takes for cigerette butts, aluminum cans,Plastic bottles and polystyrene foam to decompose if they are discarded in dumps and road side litter.


Replies:
I would check with either the EPA or with Chinet. Chinet tries to show from their studies that their paper plates take less time to decompose.
