Many municipalities have compost for sale. They collect yard waste, 
chipped tree trimmings, zoo poo, etc., and compost it in huge, long 
rows, turning it with large equipment. What I do not know of is a 
measuring system to determine quality and nutrient percentages. 
Personally, I would not want compost made of yard waste.

Most large horse operations have far more manure and bedding waste 
than they can use. Some have recognized the business opportunity.
