Seems like a great idea to me.
I think I’m going to go and see out of interest.

How much would it cost to cart it say 10 miles?
I'm curious to know what it's like. A tidy pile of clean, well rotted muck in a concrete midden would be worth some money sold to a local farmer. Perhaps even sold with an analysis to show its nutrient values...

Working off that, it should be free for someone to shift then. Costs to load, haul spread and presumably clean up afterwards will make it dear if paying much for it. Especially when you can get bio solids delivered on farm for free…

Process takes out most of the heavy metals nowadays. Nothing like the shite it used to be! Years ago we were paid to take it!
