Putting Waste to Good Use

McGill Environmental Systems provides cost-effective and sustainable technologies and services composting a wide range of biodegradable materials sourced and harvested from municipal, industrial, agricultural and commercial sources.

All organic, nonhazardous materials could be a good fit for our processes and facilities. Talk to our team to see if your waste stream might be a good fit.

Pre-acceptance Procedures

McGill reviews materials prior to contract and acceptance to protect our microbes and prevent biological system crashes and ensure a supply of quality ingredients for our compost products

All feedstocks must meet or exceed:

  • EPA Class A toxicity and metals standards for finished compost
  • Regulatory requirements established by operating permits
  • McGill policies and processing standards

Our pre-acceptance procedures include an internal review process. This review typically takes less than 30 days and ensures compliance with regulatory and processing parameters. Biochemical and physical characteristics are evaluated, as well as generation rates, materials handling and transportation requirements. We will ask for a copy of a recent waste analysis.

Additional testing may be required, depending on the material to be processed.

All feedstock materials must be transported according to our transportation requirements.

For more information about our pre-acceptance procedures, please reach out to a member of our team.
