[USCC] Mulch production costs and screening

[Short James (DNREC)]

On the issue of mulch production from yard waste (grass clippings,
leaves, braches, brush and Xmas trees) I would like to know the
following:

 

1.	Does anyone have actual cost data to produce mulch from yard
waste via a grinder? Per cubic yard costs would be preferred but per ton
costs will work as well. 
2.	Does anyone have any experience with screening the ground mulch
to remove the fines and using the fines to produce compost? 

 

Any info you can provide would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.
