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