HUNTINGTON â Not many squeal with delight when they see an oversized tractor-trailer carrying a massive steel drum, but Amy Parsons-White did Tuesday morning.
Just before noon, the truck transporting a commercial digester for Marshall Universityâs new commercial composting facility pulled into the lot on Norway Avenue, making Parsons-Whiteâs 2 1/2-year-long dream come true.
The composting facility will be the first commercial facility in West Virginia and the second largest university-run facility in the country behind Ohio University.
Parsons-White, the manager of the Sustainability Department at Marshall, said other universities have already reached out to her to learn more about starting their own facilities.
