Biosolids are managed with extra caution. HVB does not support co-digestion of sewage sludge with food waste or other community organics. Learn why and what pathways are considered safe.
Greene County biosolids brief
Directional snapshot to inform pilot packaging.
reports/county-biosolid-flows/Greene%20Biosolids,%202015.jpgWhat this suggests
- The 2015 figure for Greene County organizes flows across land application, landfill, and storage corridors; treat it as directional context rather than moment-specific totals.
- Seasonal storage, hauling windows, and permitting constraints appear layered in the stack, so use them as framing cues before sizing any permanent assets.
- This snapshot invites conversations about regenerative soil, nutrient reuse, or transport synergies; confirm current markets and odor/traffic controls before assuming those benefits.
Pilot implications
- Colonie solid waste landfill integration - Provides a stable landfill archetype when county assets lag.
- Monticello transfer station - Demonstrates the role of transfer hubs near Greene's southern edge.
- Delaware County solid waste center - Adds context on managing residuals through a county-focused operator.
Policy hooks
- Environmental justice postures - Credit this narrative for trust-building and benefit framing in the community.
- Funding & grants - Tie the brief back to known funding paths before finalizing capital asks.
- Food waste law implications - Use it as a reference when working near organics or composting regulations.
