Aim Environmental: Composting Facility for Green Bin Program

Welcome to the City of Hamilton Central Composting Facility operated by Aim Environmental Group. This facility was designed to process 60,000 tons of source separated organic material per year by incorporating some of the worlds most innovative composting technologies. The design team at Maple Reinders, Aim Environmental Group and our partners at van Kaathoven Group and Christiaens Group collaborated to bring the finest in European, in-vessel tunnel technology to produce a system known for rapid decomposition of organic feedstock and the production of Ontarios highest grade compost.

The material that is brought to our facility is inspected before being loaded into a shredder. The material is conveyed under a cross belt magnet to remove any metal contaminants before it is loaded into one of the ten Phase 1 tunnels. The shredded waste is distributed in uniform layers over the tunnel, which is equipped with a heating system, an aerated floor and a sprinkler system to nourish the microorganisms responsible for decomposing the organic matter. It will remain in the Phase 1 tunnel for 10-14 days.

The material is then moved to one of six Phase 2 tunnels, where the material is further broken down and pasteurized in order to meet strict regulations. This second phase takes 7 to 10 days, and after cooling, the material is ready to be screened.

The highly efficient screening plant is able to extract plastics, stones and other ferrous material from the compost in one pass. It also separates the finished compost from organic material that wasnt fully broken down. The screened, finished compost is transported to the curing building for maturation, while the unfinished compost is added to the incoming waste.

The facility has an advanced computer system which is able to monitor and control all elements of the process such as water and air flow, leachate collection, and temperature. The process computers also control all of the air entering and exiting the building. To maximize odour control, negative air pressure is maintained on the plant floor and all exhaust from the building is passed through a biofilter before it is released to the outside environment.

This state-of-the-art composting facility has been in operation since 2006 and is still recognized as one of the most advanced compost facilities on the continent. Together, Maple Reinders and Aim Environmental Group outlined the facility to ensure it had a modular design to allow for future expansion to address emerging opportunities. All facilities are custom-designed in order to meet the demands of their market.

Mindbites: How to Make Organic Compost

http://www.mindbites.com/lesson/136-how-to-make-organic-compost

Marisol works at the Oasis Gardens in Austin, Tx. This wholly organic farm produces bountiful produce of such beauty and splendor the likes of which your local grocery store has probably never seen.

In this lesson, with a pleasant degree of pep and vivaciousness, she divulges everything there is to know about homemade organic compost.

Composting is a beneficial activity for many reasons, one being that it keeps easily decomposable organic waste out of the already over-flowing junkyards were it will most likely sit wedged between piles old Coke Zero bottles and discarded America Online start-up discs. And, for the home gardener, the benefits from your own compost heap are astronomical.

It’s simple, easy, and environmentally concise…a triple whammy!

Grow Your Own Organic Vegetables

To grow enough food to sustain a household requires a huge amount of land so if you are going to grow vegetables you may as well do it organically by not using any pesticides or artificial fertilisers. You might just be growing for fun but this is also much cheaper than buying organic food, for which there are many benefits.

You can grow your own food free of any chemicals and pesticides using compost from recycled materials. Organic growing is entirely safe for you, your family and the environment. You can make your own compost very easily from more than half your household waste. Construct a compost bin from four wooden posts, some chicken wire and cardboard. Empty into it any wasted food, peelings and all sorts of paper.

Dedicate a small patch of land that gets the sun almost all year round; avoid being near buildings or fences as heavy metals, paints and chemicals can taint the soil and hinder growth. Be sure to get rid of any debris such as rocks, get rid of any weeds by hand and move any wanted plants to somewhere else. Turn the soil so it is loose and allowed to absorb air and moisture.

Spread organic material such as leaves, dried grass and fine plant material from a non-pesticide garden over your chosen area. Either buy or borrow some good quality compost or dark crumbly soil from under forest trees and spread it thinly over your patch. This will provide your soil with all sorts of organisms and beneficial life forms that will work the soil for you if you give them the chance.

Mix the top three inches of soil and organic material to help them work. Keep the soil damp but not soggy, never walk on the soil, when you are working with the plants, use a kneeling board. Obtain some vegetables in small square pots, commonly available from garden centres. Place the bulb and its roots in a small hole, deeper than the size of the bulb itself. Cover with plenty of organic material and water.

When your vegetables are planted you will only need to check them on an infrequent basis, making sure the water level is good, soil is rich and debris is clear. If you want to use them, pick them shortly before as without the chemicals they will decompose fairly rapidly.

You will need to be wary of lawn weeds and lawn moss as these can damage your vegetables but otherwise don’t worry too much as the soil will look after itself.
