To come up with specific numbers that reflect variables of volume, treatment and feedstock, public facility managers were surveyed....Interestingly, the least expensive processing reported is at the smallest site." Explores various aspects of operations costs at a composting facility and ways to trim the expenses. Money saving techniques include: downsizing, becoming a public facility, adding feedstocks, and minimizing grinding. Also includes a section on the importance of grinding. |
