Right, at one juncture they were receiving the county's leaves and tree 
trimmings, getting the garbage from several restaurants and grocery stores, 
spent 
grains from a brewery.  Dick was making a composting chamber from a railroad 
tank car [don't know if he actually put it in production or not] and a 
garbage 
boiler from some other monster tank.  The chunks of limbs and stumps the 
county 
was delivering to him powered the boiler and he fed the boiled garbage to 
pigs, was recovering some methane from the pig manure, and using the "spent" 
manure to activate the other compost mountians.
