This virtual tour of Windham Solid Waste Management District's food scrap composting facility was part of VORS 2021.

Windham Solid Waste Management District's food scrap composting facility has grown to the 2nd largest in VT. The tour shows the processing of Brattleboro's residential curbside organics, as well as commercial and industrial organics co-collected with non-recyclable paper and cardboard.

The facility has met its annual "small food waste composting facility" permit capacity limit of 2,000 cubic yards, and the regulatory requirements for moving to a larger permit capacity will be discussed. Marketing of "Brattlegrow" compost will be described, including manufacturing of topsoil..

District Manager, Bob Spencer, was also a panelist in the session on Food Scrap Composting Success: Stories from the Field. In this session Bob discusses the District’s compost facility and the follow up Q&A.
