[USCC] ASP facilities for yard waste only?

[Wirth, Roberta]

We did have an aerated static pile yard waste site in Minnesota(in the
metro) in the early 90's.  The operator decided to create a wood chip
base and operate with just very large static piles.  There was no odor
problem and the material decomposed nicely w/o the forced aeration.

Subject: [USCC] ASP facilities for yard waste only?


Colleagues:

 

Does anyone know of a viable, working composting facility using Aerated
Static Pile (ASP) for ONLY yard waste? I know of numerous ASP facilities
handling yard waste in conjunction with food waste, biosolids, manures,
the organic fraction of MSW, biowaste (in Europe), etc., but cannot find
a viable example of one handling nothing but yard wastes.  In my
experience, I've not seen one solely for yard waste alone, have you?.

 

This inquiry is for a proposed 50,000+ tpy yard waste facility in MD who
has become convinced that ASP is the way to go with yard waste
(primarily for odor control and processing footprint reasons).  I'd like
to find at least one similar facility somewhere.

 

Thanks, and have a great Memorial Day weekend!

 

Craig
