An Analysis of Composting As an Environmental Remediation Technology [PDF]
Abstract: The composting process is currently viewed primarily as a waste management method to
stabilize organic waste, such as manure, yard trimmings, municipal biosolids, and organic
urban wastes. The stabilized end-product (compost) is widely used as a soil amendment to

presented in this document were compiled and analyzed by Michael A. Cole, Ph.D.
