The Mariposa County Solid Waste Compost Facility is a major step in the plans to resolve the County’s waste-related problems. The 8.2 million dollar project will help the County meet the State of California mandated 50% diversion of all waste that would otherwise be placed in the Landfill. The Compost Facility will convert approximately 60% of the County’s mixed solid waste into materials that can be used for other purposes, such as an amendment in the daily cover used on the Landfill.
The Compost Facility is the first of its kind in California with an in-vessel composting system entirely enclosed within a building, including an air and odor control system and a water re-circulation system. The facility was also designed with an observation room to allow visitors, residents and students to observe and learn about this technology.
