Food, air, water, and 'grinding': that's more than a great place to live, that's a lifestyle!

This is great. I have a small lawn maintenance company and I bought 20 acres in New Jersey to make black gold. I wanted to recycle my Own grass clippings and leaves. After spending over 350k the DEP told me I couldn’t make black gold. On my own farm.

What is wrong with them? I suggest that you contact Will Allan, who has gotten permission, and operates a functioning compost operation, in a Detroit suburb. He is well known and highly respected in Detroit and the organic gardening''farming community. He can give you some tips on getting through the bureaucracy! Just search for on KZread. !Good luck!

Be very careful not to use clippings which contain weed killers or bad chemicals. Compost for the vegetable garden if made from those chemicals actually become more concentrated as the compost condenses. You don't want to grow 3 eyes !

Jun matthew Dela joya no no if you want make your own better to know what’s in your compost then using all sorts of garbage

Collect the gasses and run the vehicles on biofuel

R.I.P. - Western got taken for a ride by A1 Organics when they gave up compost generation at the the Butte Mill site. I believe this is a RRSI KW 616 windrow turner - anybody know what happened to it after Western got out of the compost business?

How many people operate that facility and how many yards of finished do you produce every year?

See this 2014 study that examines Western's composting practices and their current (at the time) and potential capacity: assets.bouldercounty.gov/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/RCD_CompostingCapacityAnalysis.pdf

So you compost in the presence of plastics? Then screen them out after they are exposed to temperatures above 125°F.

Good question. Only screening out the larger pieces that didn't readily break down. Average heat is 135°f.

To bad every state and every city doesn't do this to return nutrients back to the soil instead of putting it in a dum

So why no manure? Cost? Seems like a critical loss.

@westerndisposal7889

A few reasons: We are regulated by the CDPHE and our site was permitted for food and yard waste only. Second, our feedstock comes exclusively from curbside collection so manure is not a material that would be found in a curbside cart.

It's really funny that nobody talks about the extra trucks, more exhaust emissions, on the road picking this stuff up, or the extra equipment, more exhaust emissions, to move the product around, or the extra equipment used, more exhaust emissions, to "process" the compost! But hey, what ever makes you feel better about yourselves for "making a difference", lol!

The problem I have with doing it myself (about a ton a year) is the lack of really good grinding equipment. The compost I produce is fine for mixing with garden soil or using as a mulch, but it's nowhere near fine enough for making planting mix. A "mikro pulverizer" is so expensive that its price is practically a state secret. So I end up buying some compost, anyway.

What about that plastic bag they threw in the grinder. Thats not organic

@westerndisposal7889

You are absolutely right, plastic is not compostable. In fact, plastics inadvertently (or indifferently) sorted into the organics bin is one of the biggest challenges commercial composters of municipal solid waste face. We address the challenge at the screening stage where the material gets processed through a 3/8" screen, then runs under a series of vacuum hoses which does get much, but not all, of the plastics out.
