Balancing markets with compost production
Article Abstract:
A-1 Organics has prospered by composting not only feedlot manure from lambs but also organic residuals. It composts and markets over 300,000 cubic yards of organic wastes each year at four composting facilities. These composting sites serve municipal and commercial organics reduction and recycling requirements. The company currently sells about 30% of its compost production in the market, which it is rapidly increasing to 50%. The firm provides an example of ways to recycle residuals into marketable soil products.

Development boom sends recycled waves
Article Abstract:
Two companies in Ohio are focusing on land clearing and yard trimmings to process and market. T&J Excavating and Tree Clearing markets piles of wood chips from willow, elm and other softwoods as mulch, some of which is colored and which is the most popular of the company's mulch products. Meanwhile, Clean Wood Recycling, which operates on the other side of town, takes excess wood chips from T&J to sell as uncolored mulches, while also composting 100,000 cubic yards of leaves, grass and yard waste.
