A look inside the City of Edmonton's Composting Facility

it looks so clean and new... i wish it was still like that

do you collect any methane gas from the process?

I'm so impressed. Edmonton is on the edge!

CANNON!

impressive..... kudos to the city for taking the initiative to build this thing

no wonder people are getting sick,, we are using our garbage to fertilize our crops thats just wrong

Compost produced at the Edmonton Composting facility is processed under controlled conditions that result in high temperatures that kill pathogens. It is further processed by 'curing' to achieve a mature compost that is not only safe to apply to land but improves soil quality.
It is continually sampled and extensively tested for pathogens, agronomic nutrient value, metals, and maturity to ensure that it is safe. It meets guidelines set by the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment.

cool i never knew Edmonton had one i would hate to get stuck in one of those drums.

This is the largest composting facility in North America.
