22 MONTEREY COUNTY WEEKLY may 4-10, 2023 www.montereycountyweekly.com Carbon Capture Top left: Steam rises in the wake of a windrow turner, which takes the compost on the inside of the windrow and flips it to the outside layer. Top right: After the green waste has been composting for 90-120 days, it is put through a trommel screen where the compost “fines” fall through small holes; what doesn’t fall through— about 40 percent of the material—ends up in a landfill. Below: Bits of plastic contaminants flag in the wind on the surface of a compost pile. Photos by Daniel Dreifuss
