In order to be suitable for in-house composting, the facility should
have the following characteristics:
Have sufficient space to maneuver composting equipment and
construct windrows. The facility should contain enough open space
and ceiling must be high enough to allow the loader to construct
windrows 6 feet high and 12 feet wide. Facilities with columns,
such as double-deck houses, restrict such formations.
Be located in an area that is accessible by the composting
equipment. This facilitates the delivery of carbon source and
compost removal.
Have access doors that can be secured against vandals, scavengers
or disease vectors.
