Organic Product - Analysis & Safety Data Printer Friendly version of this page

The Columbus Compost Facility has been manufacturing high quality organic mulch since 1980.

Com-Til products are made by an all natural process involving NO chemicals, meeting state and federal biosolid quality standards.

Biosolids from the wastewater treatment process are mixed with wood chips and yard waste. While

composting, temperatures are monitored and maintained to pasteurize the compost. This kills most pathogens and weed seeds, while avoiding the removal of good microbes that are beneficial to plants.

Once the process is complete, the material is screened to provide a uniform, dark brown product. Tests are then performed to check for pathogens, metals and nutrients.

General Safety Statement: Com-Til products are organic and safe when used as recommended on vegetables, fruits, trees, shrubs, grass and flowers. It will provide valuable nutrients to the soil and plants.

Personal hygiene, wearing gloves and washing hands should always be a part of using any fertilizer.

Com-Til is a safe product produced under strict, engineered controls.* Com-Til is as safe as any compost or other soil product.

* Com-Til and Com-Til Plus meet the exceptional quality standards of the State/Federal 503 Regulations which apply to the use or disposal of sewerage sludge. In the case of Com-Til Products, they are composted and monitored so the temperatures reach levels which will kill most pathogens.
