Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton created a challenge to try and get the City of Phoenix to divert nearly half of its waste from landfill by 2020. And as part of that challenge, the city is working with a company to build, manage and operate a $16 million compost facility, which will compost approximately 55,000 tons of material annually and reduce the city’s overall waste by 11 percent.
