Resort & Hospitality Composting
Challenges of Resort and Hospitality Composting
Resorts and hospitality properties are often in beautiful destinations which have an ever-growing motivation to preserve their environment. At many tourism destinations the waste disposal costs are much higher than typical urban or rural areas. On-site composting initiatives are often driven by environmental impact, and the financial benefit of reduced disposal costs and the value of the compost produced. Resorts and hospitality properties need composting systems that won’t create odors or other nuisances, with a controlled process that existing resort staff can easily operate.
Odor Management
The number one reason for facility closure is odor violations. We’re proud to report that none of our clients have been shut down due to odors. Our systems allow you to operate even in the most densely populated regions.
Pathogen Destruction
Most compost facilities must provide data proving time and temperature requirements are met. Use our tech solutions to stimulate temperature increases while automatically logging data in simple CSV files.
Permitting
Permitting can take years, even for small facilities. We offer completely enclosed solutions with excellent odor control, and one-on-one consulting to simplify permitting compliance.
Education
Composting is a slow process, which can make it difficult to create engaging site tours. Our systems offer compelling visual elements allowing you to see fresh food waste transform into rich black soil in minutes.
Our Solutions
Green Mountain Technologies offers proven solutions for resorts and hospitality properties, from affordable aerated static pile (ASP) systems to automated in-vessel systems. Our goal is always the same: empower resorts and hospitality venues with efficient systems to turn organic waste streams into valuable compost products.

2. Pre-Engineered ASP Systems
ASP composting significantly reduces mechanical turning of the material, while speeding up the primary composting process to just 1.5 months, plus 4-8 weeks curing time (compared to 6+ months with turned windrow composting). PRE-ASP can reduce footprint and material handling costs by as much as 50% when compared to turned windrow composting.

3. Containerized Composting System (CCS)
Proven for over 30 years to be a reliable way to process difficult feedstocks, the CompTainer CCS achieves aerated static composting in airtight vessels that can be moved and emptied by roll-off trucks. Ready to cure compost is produced in three to four weeks, with outstanding odor control and stormwater control.

“Islandwood wanted to process food waste from the dining facility and use the compost in their organic garden. To accommodate the facility’s waste volume Island Wood selected the Earth Flow from Green Mountain Technologies. Since mixing, aeration and moisture addition is automated, the system requires little beyond loading and unloading. The Earth Flow provides excellent control over moisture, odors, vectors and leachate. Island Wood has created compost using the Earth Flow since 2001.”
