Turning Seattle’s Food Scraps Into Gardening Gold w/ Cedar Grove Compost

This video takes you on a tour of the Cedar Grove Compost facility in Everett Washington, just north of Seattle. From feedstock intake of food scraps and green waste by the ton, to residential and commercial distribution around the region, Cedar Grove is a worldwide leader in the large scale compost industry. Cedar Grove has been composting Puget Sounds green waste into compost since the city of Seattle started taking yard waste out of the waste steam and into special roadside collection. Cedar Grove specialized in a variety of compost and soil products. For more info visit www.CGCompost.com This video was produced by http Become a fan on Facebook at www.Facebook.com

@565Customz No, they shouldn’t. That waste contains way too many toxins. Just think about the non-biodegradable substances and objects that are dumped and flushed every day. Not to mention, the numerous prescription drugs that are constantly expelled from peoples systems.

The steam is from natural microbes working /living in the pile and as the eat and multibly they create heat. the facility adds water so the microbes can drink and the heat turns some of the moisture into steam! WOW!
