Collected organic material is taken to The Compost Facility located at the Solid Waste Facility. The organic material is then combined with carbon amendments such as wood chips, leaf and other organic yard waste, and placed into long piles called "windrows". These windrows take approximately 2 years to decompose into mature and stable compost. |
