What makes the Sevier Solid Waste Composting Facility in Sevier County unique in terms of waste disposal methods,

The Sevier Solid Waste Composting Facility in Sevier County is unique in terms of waste disposal methods because it uses a composting process to handle waste. Here are the steps that make it unique:

1. Collection: The facility collects waste from Sevier County and surrounding areas. This includes municipal solid waste, biosolids, and yard waste.

2. Sorting: The collected waste is sorted to separate recyclable materials. The remaining waste, which includes food waste and non-recyclable items, is used in the composting process.

3. Composting: The sorted waste is placed in a composting area where it is broken down by microorganisms. This process turns the waste into a nutrient-rich soil amendment, which can be used in landscaping and agriculture.

4. Use of Leachate: The facility also collects the leachate (liquid that drains from a landfill) and uses it to moisten the composting waste. This helps speed up the composting process and reduces the amount of leachate that needs to be treated or disposed of.
