Over the next ear and a half, microbes will convert this garbage to usable topsoil and mulch.
The composting program began in March 2010 as a pilot to divert food preparation waste and leftovers from the regular waste stream that is sent to Rio Rancho's landfill to a local business that recycles food waste into useable and sell-able compost.

My new compost bin from City Farmer. This is before I had finished setting it up. The worms are in the plastic top in the top right corner. The stuff inside the bin is the carbon-rich brown layer, made up of straw and shredded newspaper.
I have a mostly cold compost pile that I thought would do better being a bit caged. I built a sifter for the compost (which also helped me to prototype the bottom of the quail run), and was able to get several buckets full of compost. The compost has been added to the vegetable beds as well as to the violas and calla lilies in the front
The compost mixer is made out of recycled material and can be re-grinded and re-used in the manufacturing process of future products.

It's getting increasingly harder for me to find things to photograph. Most of our stuff is packed away, and we'll be on our way to our new home in a month :) The compost tumbler will be gone soon too. Glad I got to photograph it one more time.
Crews brought in compost and dozens of new plants to put in the ground in the middle of the SR 20 Sharpes Corner and SR 20 Miller Gibralter roads roundabouts as well as add to the sides of the road and along the multimodal trail. This landscaping is one of the final steps of work on this Connecting Washington corridor improvement project.

Two cattle feeder composters. I lift the feeder off the compost with a front end loader and then use the tractor to re-pile the material. Most difficult thing is to keep the material moist.
We have stopped using this system June 2011.
1/19/2018 New Hanover County Landfill Composting operations. yard debris,food waste and other matter is ground up. Then stored. as the decomposition begins. The material breaks down with help of other organisms and bacteria. The final product is compost humus and is used as fertilizer.
I like it when I get a full bowl of compost filler from meal preparations - I know it's going to be good food if it takes that many fresh ingredients. :)
Probably one of the best designed compost bin out in the market. Compost bins are generally not known for creativity in styles.
We put all of our food scraps into our compost bucket and then when it's full take it to our local "sanitary district" where they compost the whole shebang w/yard waste, etc. We're on the waiting list for an "Earth Machine" so we can do it all at home, and have the lovely compost for our garden too.
Compost bin I just finished building. The front slats are removable to make turning the pile, loading, and unloading easier.
