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 CZcams. !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 !
Great to see something useful coming from all that trash.Keep up the good work.Try to export these innovative ideas to countries less advanced in recycling.
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?

Yes it's not for sissy snowflakes like yourself. You better stick to buying your food. Here's a FACT: Everything in this world kills and eats everything else, even plants. Nature be scary Yo.
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!
You mean the point that we are destroying the earth by "saving the earth"?! Lol, no, I don't think it did! You DO realize you can "compost" by just dumping the shit in a pile in your own yard without trucking it all over the place, right?!
@@ericpl7227 if not for companies like these, these nutrient rich food scraps will end up in landfills and exist the cycle. Well, most people don't compost, not everyone has the space or the time. ofc transporting it is not ideal, but it still beats wasting it all away!
If your really that concerned for the planet then just off yourself and quit using resources.... ya, I didn't think so. Dam cityfucks always talking about save this and save that, why not just live right to start with and quit consuming so must stuff to begin with?
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.
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.
I wish they had that in more States

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

They need these machines in the Philippines
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
COOL
I hope those bags are compostable!

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.
Speaking in whole sentences is fundamental. Good grammar is fundamental. Answering a direct question directly is fundamental. Be a man or go play.

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

compost sounds really creepy like it's alive and going to eat you

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
This is green money...
It's black gold
So why no manure? Cost? Seems like a critical loss.

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

Compostable!
how much it costs the 3/8" screen device or machine to separate plastic and other inorganic waste.?
Seams very nasty
Stupid unneeded music.
