25 or 30 years ago the city of Milwaukee (sp) bagged this "stuff" and called it Milorganite and sold it as soil amendment. Golf courses loved it because it really greened up the greens. Then Organic Gardening Magazine had a hissy fit over the "potential" heavy metals in it and I din't know if it is still available. The city of Eureka CA was burying it in the sand dunes across the bay until some nut case said that was not nice. So the city bought some grazing land south of town and now they are spreading it on the grass.

Milwaukee has used its sludge for Milorganite for years.
It was used almost exclusively for turf, but more recently it has been promoted for flower and veggie gardens
It's still around; common around here.
