Description This machine would be used to more efficiently turn compost windrows.
Justification Compost is currently turned by an endloader, which takes approximately 40 hours per month. A turner would reduce this by about half; staff would have time to turn the piles more frequently. Increased turning reduces processing time, allowing more material to be processed in the same amount of time or less. This results in increased diversion from the landfill and the additional compost would yield additional revenue.

Budget Impact/Other Quicker processing would allow for more material to be processes, resulting in additional compost for sale. Assuming a 25% increase would result in approximately $10,000 additional revenue per year. Grant assistance is feasible for this purchase.
