  9. Fisher Road Recycling Composting Processes Turning your waste into Grade A Compost

  10. FRR Inside Composting – Receiving Building • Material is received into large Receiving Building. • The air in the building is controlled for odors by a large fan and two Biofilters. • The food waste, yard and garden material are mixed and placed in one of three large Herhof cells for composting. • After the material exit the Herhof Cells, the material is placed on controlled aerated floors inside the receiving building for a period of time.

  11. Biofilters for Receiving Building • The Receiving Building is a Negative pressure environment. • The Biofilters System (picture bottom left) enables the air to be filtered decreasing the odors from the Receiving Building.

  12. FRR Inside Composting to Outside Composting Process • The inside composted material is moved from inside the receiving building to one of two large outdoor aerated concrete pads designed to control odors by positive aeration (forced air). • The material continues to compost and age while on the concrete pads. • Once the product is aged, it is screened to be sold to commercial businesses, landscapers, and homeowners as Class A Compost.
