Operating a highly profitable, massive open-air commercial composting facility is a completely relentless logistical battle against extreme material density and highly hostile ground conditions. These massive facilities process tens of thousands of tons of heavy municipal green waste, highly saturated food scraps, and dense agricultural byproducts every single year. The totally raw incoming material is incredibly heavy, and the finished, highly premium compost product is equally dense. However, the absolute greatest operational challenge is not just the extreme weight of the organic material itself; it is the completely totally destroyed, deeply muddy ground conditions created by the constant, heavy movement of massive machinery over highly saturated, continuously wet earth.<\/p>\n
During the heavy spring rainy season or following a massive winter snowmelt, the massive dirt staging pads of an open-air composting facility completely disintegrate into incredibly deep, highly treacherous mud bogs. The constant, heavy traffic of massive commercial delivery trucks completely churns the wet soil, creating deep ruts that can instantly swallow a full-sized vehicle up to its heavy axles. When the ground conditions completely fail, the entire highly profitable biological operation grinds to a completely terrifying halt. If you cannot safely drive the heavy equipment out to the massive compost windrows to physically turn and aerate them, the crucial aerobic bacteria will die, the massive piles will turn totally anaerobic, and the facility will instantly generate massive, highly illegal odor complaints.<\/p>\n
