City to turn refuse to fertilizer with St Ed's plan
Austin City Council authorized City Manager Guston Morgan to pursue a composting partnership with St. Edward's University to divert 40 to 50 tons of daily garbage from the incinerator. The plan aims to produce fertilizer and may require $21 000 for trenching equipment with annual operating costs around $9 000, offset by haulage and labor savings. The council also reviewed alternatives including a new incinerator, a sanitary landfill, or a mixed disposal method, but rejected them as unaffordable.
