EDCO Waste and Recycling Services will apply for a major use permit for a green material processing, recycling, and composting facility this year. The facility would be located on a 197 acre site on Betsworth Road in Valley Center.
According to the North County Times, the facility would accept leaves, lawn clippings, brush, and other organic material that would otherwise go to landfills. EDCO expects that 406 tons of green material will be hauled to the site daily. EDCO currently plans to use covered, computer-monitored composting bins to turn the green waste into soil enriching products.
For more information about the proposed project see the full article by the North County Times here.

Don’t be fooled. This is not some nice little organic composting project. This is a major, industrial dump site. Tons of slurry = human waste = will be required to lubricate and process the chopped up waste. This project poses significant environmental risks to the local water supply and the regions air quality with fine particulates, diesel grinders, and dozens of semi trucks driving to and fro on a daily basis. Furthermore, the waste may come from all over Southern California with no way to check whether or not it comes from a quaranteened zone. Pests may infiltrate and destroy the local agricultural based economy. Visit our website at http://www.saynotoedco.com for more information. The only “green” involved are profits for EDCO.
