Scott Equipment provides heavy-duty processing and separation equipment for commercial composting operations. From depackaging food waste and recovering clean organics to processing gypsum for use as a compost amendment, our equipment helps facilities reduce contamination, improve material consistency, and recover more value from incoming waste streams.

Gypsum doesn’t have to end its life in a landfill. When properly recovered and processed, drywall gypsum can be incorporated into compost as a mineral-rich amendment, creating another beneficial-use outlet for material that might otherwise be discarded.

Gypsum is a natural source of calcium and sulfur, two nutrients that can contribute value to the finished compost and the soils where it is ultimately applied. Unlike lime, gypsum supplies these minerals without significantly changing soil pH.

For composting facilities, incorporating recovered gypsum can also help create a more circular waste stream, diverting drywall from landfills while producing a recovered mineral material that can be blended into appropriate compost products.
