Biosolids for Garden Compost?
Hey all, first off I just wanted to say thank you to everyone on here being so supportive. I just got a job at a water and sewer department a couple weeks ago and I’m really excited for this career opportunity.
We are in phase 1 of building a new treatment facility which won’t be operational for another two years but I’ve been learning the process and I have a somewhat silly question.
Is it at all safe to use the leftover biosolids in a garden compost pile? I see there’s lots of beneficial bacteria and other organisms and nutrients and I’m curious if anyone out there has actually done it?
I know every treatment plant is different and the final product (or in this case, the waste product) depends on a lot of factors. I don’t know the gpd or how many people we will be serving but I might be able to put that in the comments later today. I do know that there will be no industry flowing in. Just commercial and residential.
Id consider PFAS but what else should I consider? It’s very unlikely that I’ll actually do it but I’m wondering if anyone else has.
Thanks again for all the advice and resources given here. Time for me to hit the books 📖
