They promote composting and are certainly aware of it. But it's not part of the green bin use statistics, nor is there very good data (I think) on compost use in the region. One metric they've used is waste audits, which show the portion of the current landfill stream that can actually be recycled or green binned. I think something like 2/3 of the landfill stream could be diverted.
