Recycling into compost is a monumental task, a virtual industry apart from farming.

It's no more technical than a large scale livestock operation, wouldn't take up a lot more room and they'd have a product they can sell for $30/yd. One person on a loader could maintain it for 5-10 hours a couple of times a week.

Have you ever had to handle manure from a large herd of cattle?

It isn’t that simple.

To make saleable compost takes a lot of room, time, and permits.

Three years is what I remember, to go from “fresh” to “ready to sell”.

Big issue is containment. Poop, to be blunt, is water soluble.
