City Garbage Disposal System in Washington Described
The Washington Fertilizer company converts city garbage into fertilizer after collecting it in iron tanks and shipping to Cherry Hill Virginia. Oil and other byproducts are extracted and sold, with the solid residue pressed and ground into a fibered odorless fertilizer ready for market. The process, also used in Cleveland and Detroit, proves the garbage problem can be turned into usable products.
