that can't be put in their backyard composter.Organic material is composted in large containers called Herhof Bio-cells.
First Steps
When the organic material arrives at the site, the truck is
weighed and directed to the processing building where the truck empties the load onto the floor. In the processing building, the material is visually inspected for contamination and then loaded into the shredder. The shredder cuts the material into smaller pieces and once completed, the material is placed inside the composting units.
Composting Process
The actual composting process takes place in a biocell, a reinforced concrete box with a 60 cubic metre capacity. Air is circulated through the box using a series of holes within the floor. Seepage water collected on the floor is rained back into the container from the ceiling.
After approximately seven to ten 
days, the material is removed from the biocell. The material is sorted outside for a curing period of 30-45 days. Finished compost is screened through a half inch wire screen to complete the process.
The finished compost is available for sale at the Region's Community Recycling Centres.
