SSWI produces over 50,000 tons of compost each year.

After your waste is fed through our digesters and the large inorganics are removed, it sits in windrows for 28 days. The resulting compost is screened to 1/4 inch minus. The inorganics that are screened out are then sent to the class IV landfill. Despite the issues that inorganics cause, SSWI produces Grade A, nutrient-dense compost.

Our compost is available free of charge to the public to spread on local farms, use for erosion control, enhance vegetation, or apply to topsoil mixtures.
