FOUNDED in 2010, Dirt Hugger operates a source separated organics composting facility in Dallesport, Washington. The site is a nine-acre parcel where owners Pierce Louis and Tyler Miller built a two-stage aerated composting operation, using a Green Mountain Technology aeration system. Dirt Hugger receives about 35,000 tons/year of residentially collected yard trimmings and food waste, commercial food waste (from restaurants, groceries, and schools), whole fruit waste, cherry sludge from fruit processing, beer waste and beer yeast waste (about 18,000 gallons/week), wood waste, and brush. Feedstocks come from generators throughout the Columbia River Gorge region, including the Portland, Oregon metro region.
