[USCC] ASP facilities for yard waste only?

Tue May 26 11:02:48 CDT 2009

Craig,

DSWA is the using the Gore system with ground yard waste only.  Arguably a foot of finished compost as the cover should work similarly in an ASP made up of yard waste.  Contact Jim Vescovi at DSWA at jv at dswa.com or 302-875-3448. 

Hope this helps.

Jim.

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
