 Dungster, LLC Dungster Composting Systems has highly effective composting systems for both large and small operations! Turn your manure into reusable and highly beneficial compost! When Manure Happens— Composting Is The Answer! We’ve all seen it. That huge pile of manure attracting flies, Compost is Mother Nature at work! Our world needs to return to mother earth as much as we take. Composting is one way this can occur. Raw wastes, such as manure and food scraps, needs to be responsibly managed so they do no harm (see eutrophication). The heat generated by composting manure kills weed seeds, fly larva, and pathogens. Nutrients are converted and fixed in a form plants can absorb, are less susceptible to leaching, and finished compost has no offensive odors nor does it attract flies and rodents as will raw manure. While manure management is certainly not a new issue, it is increasingly becoming a topic that must be addressed.
So What Is The Answer To The “Manure” Question? DUNGSTER! Talk about turning “lemons into lemonaide”… The Dungster is a lasting solution turning stinky manure, into a first rate compost that is a great addition to any horse facility! The Dunster Composter and uses the "in-vessel" composting method to turn tons of manure (even food waste!) and other organics into stable, desirable compost in just 30 days! The Dungster composter efficiently converts the material by thermophilic composting (Wikipedia - Open Source Ecology). This composting method, like all composting, is the key to a sound waste management program.
Is It True That The Dungster Produces SANITARY Compost? How? YES! The answer is easy to explain. The high heat of the composting step (~130 TO 150F) “sanitizes” the materials killing fly larvae, pathogens and rendering weed-seeds unable to germinate resulting in ideal organic material used as a soil amendment. This is truly a compost that can benefit your gardens, property and enriches the soil and plantlife!
We are happy to tell you! In-vessel composting is a composting method that confines the materials within a vessel. Dungster’s “vessel” is a roll-off dumpster. These dumpsters are never modified when composting and can return to waste hauling at any time. The Dungster aeration kit, with controlled air flow and temperature monitoring, maintains ideal bio-reactor conditions for ideal compost production. Dumpsters are used, “as is”, because they are the most affordable and convenient “vessel” available in all communities both rural and urban. They are mobile, so units can be added and reduced with ease. They are available to purchase, or to rent, (or both) and no permits are required to use a dumpster. We also have a SOLAR OPTION you can learn about!
How Is The Dungster Compost Aerated? Glad you asked! The air is metered in by pipes laying by gravity alone in the bottom of the dumpster fed through a vertical manifold from an outdoor grade blower positioned above. Fresh air is injected from the blower while the exhaust air simply vents through a biofilter. Temperature and moisture conditions are monitored for optimum aerobic decomposition conditions. With this method, there is no need to "turn-the-pile" and there is no large capital investment. Active composting is done in only one month with curing of the batch to follow!
Can I Re-Use The Aeration Piples? YES! We specifically designed them that way! Aeration pipes are easily recovered for re-use at the end of each batch. View our youtube video below to see the ease of aeration pipe extraction. Once extracted, these pipes can be placed into another empty dumpster and another batch can be started. The loaded dumpster the pipes were removed from can be emptied or left full and used as a transport vessel for delivery.
The Dungster Is Superior To Other Methods!
Absolutely! With Dungster's Ramp-it-Up loading kit your daily chores place the manure and soiled bedding directly into the Dungster Composter in one movement eliminating multiple "touches" and avoiding manure lying upon the ground potentially leaching nutrients into the environment. This also eliminates operating a piece of power equipment, like a tractor, during daily chores. This provides a lower carbon footprint and inheritly improved safety for all the people and animals at the farm. This is an great help for the full-board owner/operator who has limited time. Like the aeration kit, the loading ramps require no modification to the host dumpster. They likewise are all manageable items in weight, permiting the installation, adjustment and removal to be a one-person task that is accomphished in a few minutes time. Note: Similar to the aeration kits, these can be purchased or rented from Dungster LLC.What Are There State Regulations Regarding Manure? Yes and this is important to know! Most states already have environmental regulations addressing animal density per acre to protect from manure nutrients running-off into streams and leaching into drinking wells and ground water. Some states are implementing food diversion legislation with composting of food the preferred alterantive. The Dungster system can be used in both applications.
How Do I Get Started? First, DUNGSTER is available to talk to to help you know what your manure needs (and output) likely are. You don’t have to figure this out alone!
So BASIC Kit is ONE Dumpster and PREMIUM Kit is TWO Dumpsters! YES. The PREMIUM KIT— you can fill one, start composting and then immediately start to fill othe other dumpster— so there is no ‘wait’ time!!
