Source separated composting serves regional needs

Article Abstract:

The Hawk Ridge Compost Facility (HRCF) of the Resource Conservation Services Inc (RCS) of Brunswick, Maine, processes sludge from seven wastewater treatment districts and a paper mill, paper waste, wood ash and sawdust. The facility also occasionally composts leaf and yard, food processing and fish processing wastes. The processing capacity of 60,000 cubic yards/year will be increased to 80,000 cubic yards/year by mid-1992 through improved processes. Ready financing from RCS's merger with Browning-Ferris Industries in 1991 is expected to accelerate the development of new composting facilities.
