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.
