Composting for Municipalities
Composting can help municipalities increase the lifespan of their landfill site and at the same time meet upcoming regulation standards for organic waste diversion. Residents benefit from access to finished compost.
The image below depicts a project that is adapted for a municipal compost site. Click on the image to get a closer look at the different parts and accessories available for managing organic waste in your municipality or compost site.
This image presents a Brome Composting System: Several composters in a series equipped with a sliding door, an extension module to extend the length to 32 feet, a sifter and a fume hood to aid in odour management, as well as a mixer, a system of conveyors.
It is possible to configure and adapt the various components to your specific needs. Contact us for more information.

- Sustainable organic waste management contributes to the circular economy;
- Potential income from compost sales.
Additional benefits of treating biosolids from municipal wastewater
- Environmentally-friendly solution for biosolids waste management
- Possibility of processing larger quantities over the same surface area than with windrow composting
- Better-quality Class A end product than traditional windrow composting
- Smaller footprint than traditional windrow composting sites
- No leachate or associated management costs (when the system is protected from rain)
- Cheaper alternative to exporting biosolids
- Reduced water consumption
- Pathogen reduction
- Potential for agricultural application (field spreading)
- Improves public perception of municipal waste management programs and demonstrates commitment to environmental protection
By adopting biosolids composting, municipalities can transform organic residues into a valuable resource while simultaneously reducing environmental impact and operating costs.
See the biosolid composting project developped for the City of Bentonville.

Composting is an effective method of managing organic waste matter that helps reduce greenhouse gases, unlike other waste disposal methods.
Since environmental conditions are controlled, the system produces clean, odorless compost, which is a value-added product that improves soil structure and fertility. This compost is ideal for the city’s flowerbeds and can be sold to citizens.
BROME Compost offers different composter models and complementary equipment as well as services to adapt to the composting needs of your municipality or compost site.
