PreTreatment of Organic Materials for Composting

- Review the USCC’s equipment directory for the difference between pre-treatment options and in-vessel and outdoor compost equipment.
- Learn the difference between dehydration, curing and pretreatment. CalRecycle has an excellent resource: https://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/organics/food/commercial/dehydrators
- The Composting Collaborative developed a grant-funded directory of companies providing pre-treatment (in many cases, prior to curing) compost equipment for institutions.
