The Facilities are registered to handle 10,000 cubic yards of yard waste and 1,000 cubic yards of food wastes. The Agency serves a community of over 450,000 people with waste-to-energy, waste reduction, recycling, and composting solution. OCRRA was first introduce to Peter Moon and O2Compost early in 2008 when the Agency was researching option to expand it composting operations and focus on a cost effective way to incorporate larger volumes of food wastes into a small yard waste facility. From there Peter Moon and O2Compost were contracted to help the Agency to develop a successful “Pilot Project” that highlighted the efficiencies and volumetric throughput of Extended Aerated Static Pile Composting. As one can see from the awards and some publication recognition, Peter Moon and O2Compost have been instrumental to OCRRA’s Composting success. Peter Moon and O2Compost’s staff have worked closely with the Agency since 2008, developing the “Pilot Project”, conducting on-site staff training and Board and Community presentations, program evaluation, professional review of third-party facility designs and material processing for future expansion, trouble-shooting and consultation. Peter Moon’s work with OCRRA and expertise in EASP composting technologies has enabled the Agency to cost effectively design a facility that will have the capacity to process 10,000 tons of food wastes and over 50,000 cubic yards of yard wastes without changes to the facilities current footprint. Working with Peter Moon and O2Compost has been an exceptional experience and the Agency owes much of its current and future composting successes to their work and training abilities. I would recommend any one looking to improve their operation to reach out to Peter Moon and the O2Compost staff; it is an opportunity for SUCCESS! Sincerely; G (ale OCRRA,
