Who's Paying
For This ...Compost?
Cell Phone Towers. If you look on top of the water tower located at the facility you'll find cell phone antennas. Those antennas, and the antennas located on a second tower, generate income for the Boroughs of Collegeville and Trappe. From that income, the compost facility bills are paid off the top and the balance is split between the Boroughs and added to their general funds.
