Understanding Manure
What Is Manure?
Manure is animal or bird waste that is used as a natural fertilizer to help plants grow. It adds nutrients to the soil, making it healthier for crops. A manure bin is a specialized container designed for the disposal and collection of manure and related organic waste, such as bedding materials and composted manure.
Why Are Different Types of Manure Disposed of Separately?
At Allan’s Disposal Services Ltd., we separate livestock, bird, and pigeon manure because each type requires different handling to protect the environment and ensure safety:
- Livestock Manure (e.g., cows, pigs, horses): This manure is often composted or used as fertilizer. Its consistent composition makes it safe for agricultural use when handled properly.
- Bird Manure (e.g., chickens, turkeys, ducks): High in nutrients, bird manure is great for composting but needs special care to remove pathogens before use.
- Pigeon Manure: Pigeon droppings can carry harmful fungi and bacteria, making them a health risk. They are treated separately to ensure safety.
Separating manure types allows us to recycle responsibly, protect public health, and comply with Saskatchewan’s environmental regulations.
Why Need A Manure Bin?
Using a manure bin helps manage and dispose of manure efficiently, preventing odor, reducing environmental impact, and facilitating proper recycling or composting. It ensures that manure is handled in a controlled manner, minimizing health risks and promoting sustainable waste management practices
Who Needs A Manure Bin?
Manure bins are used by farmers, ranchers, stable owners, and agricultural businesses who need a reliable way to handle and dispose of large quantities of animal waste or bird waste. They are also useful for landscapers and gardeners who use manure as compost or soil amendment.
