[USCC] Compost Oversize - what are the options?

[Fengyu Wang]

Dear Jeremie,
The possible uses of your Oversize materials are:
1. Making compost shocks for erosion control and storm water quality management 2. Apply them as mulch at road side and garden (require remove the contaminations or grinding) 3. Making windbreaker/open bio-filtration berm at downwind of odorous sites (animal farms, landfill, bio-solids sites, even composting sites) 4. Forest carbon restorations.

Hope this helps.

Hello Compost World,

What do you do with your Oversize material you don't recirculate?

As we run pure green waste composting site, our oversize is 90% branches composed.
The 5 - 10% left is composed by plastics, glass and metals which could potentially be removed by a windsifter and a magnet.


Many thanks,
