Alabama Waste Sludge Awareness is a new group of concerned community members throughout Alabama. We work to educate the public about the terrible – and incredibly smelly – practice of applying industrial and human waste sludge to farms and land throughout the state.
Waste sludge includes a variety of waste streams such as: sludge from wastewater treatment plants (human, domestic and industrial,) the waste from coal combustion and pulp & paper processing and residuals from chicken rendering & processing facilities (***NOT chicken house litter***). This sludge can include many industrial and man-made contaminants and/or pathogens.
