Happy to share a short piece published on our newest composting system installation. Our team provided the aeration system equipment, along with design, planning and installation services. Great to work with the Windham Solid Waste Mgt. District, Zaluzny Excavating, Steve Horton Consulting, ClearSpan Structures, and Sanborn-Head Engineering.

The new aerated static pile system allows the composting facility to handle more material on the same footprint and thus handle an increasing volume of food waste.
