Sewage sludge disposal presents an enormous problem to municipalities. A very effective way of dealing with this problem is to compost the sludge. Composting is a biological process that will reduce the waste product of sewage sludge to a useful resource in a way that is harmless to the environment. Composting is also less expensive than landfilling, incinerating, or dumping the sewage sludge into the ocean.
