Alternative To Spreading Biosolids On Farmland Presented In Merritt

This afternoon, there's another learning opportunity.
 
Biosolids are the waste collected from sewage treatment facilities.
 
In Merritt, there's an ongoing controversy about spreading them on agricultural land.
 
Now, a company called Emergent Waste Solutions has come forward with an alternative.
 
It's a technology called Pyrolysis.
 
The company's CEO, Kevin Hull is holding a public meeting in Merritt, to explain how it works.
