Compost manufacturers in the Southeast and Midwest are capitalizing on their products' inherent capabilities to build soil organic matter, retain moisture and provide nutrients. MCGILL Environmental Systems owns and operates three industrial-scale composting operations in the eastern U.S. — two in North Carolina (near Wilmington and Raleigh), and one near Waverly, Virginia. McGill started making compost in 1991 and processes over 300,000 tons of municipal and industrial organic wastes and pre and post-consumer food waste annually. The Waverly facility operates on 25 acres of a 110-acre property; primary feedstocks received are biosolids, yard trimmings and food waste.
