The infrastructure in North Carolina and elsewhere for the collection and processing of source separated organics from residential or commercial customers is not mature. A list of Type III and IV compost facilities within 60 miles of the Town, which are permitted to process post-consumer-source separated food wastes, is provided above in Exhibit 4-6. The facilities are owned and operated by various commercial, institutional, and municipal entities. SCS contacted Dean Brooks Farms (Brooks Contractors) and requested information regarding the organics collection and processing services they offer, tip fee rates, and the types of organic wastes they accept. They indicated that they are under contract with Orange County to process various source separated organic waste streams. They also indicated that they provide similar services to several locations throughout Chapel Hill. The Dean Brook Farms facility is permitted to process 75,000 tons/year; however they believe that with recent improvements the capacity may be increased to 100,000 tons/year. This past fiscal year they accepted and composted about 62,000 tons (10,000 tons of food waste); therefore, they still have capacity to receive additional material. They indicated that tip fees they charge for organic waste delivered to their facility depend on the type of material (i.e., culled produce and trimmings would be at a lower rate than household mixed compostables or “break room” type waste/ post-consumer waste), but that a nominal tip fee of $24/ton could be assumed for budgeting purposes.
