We do not generate enough waste nor have the space for a large scale (windrow type) compost operation. However, we are surpassing the ability to compost on a homeowner's level with backyard compost bins. Do any of you work with a local company that would pick up livestock manure for composting? If so what kind of container is used for holding the manure? I would like to approach a local quarry that already uses leaves to make a topsoil that they sell. They want more organic matter so I see an opportunity there but want to have more information before approaching them.
