This document will provide you with the big picture considerations associated with operating different kinds of composting systems at your school. There are four types of composting systems compared here:
- On-site bin system
- On-site forced air system (similar to a bin system but with included equipment (blowers and air channels) that are designed to aerate the compost piles, ultimately speeding up the process of decomposition
- Hauling off-site to chicken feeding
- Hauling off-site to a local composter
