Composting Facilities

Programs that operate facilities which process solid waste including sludge, food scraps and other organic waste and/or yard waste by composting, a process which involves the controlled biological decomposition of organic material under aerobic or anaerobic conditions to produce a stable, humus-like material. Many facilities accept green waste that is brought in by residents. Centrally composted materials may be used in community beautification projects or sold to local landscapers or residents.
