What happens to the Compostable materials?
• Compostable materials will be placed into piles (called “windrows”), watered and turned several times by a giant machine until all the materials have broken down and been transformed into small particles, also known as dirt. Screens help sort the good dirt from any remaining plastics and big pieces that haven’t broken down yet. The materials are then bagged and sold to gardeners, homeowners or farmers, who use it to improve their soil fertility and grow new crops. Look for compost for your next gardening project-it could contain your leftover nachos from the X Games!
