To help improve, replenish and maintain healthy soil, Synagro specializes in applying APPLICATION nutrient rich, organic wastewater biosolids to agricultural farmland. Treated wastewater biosolids provide the soil with important BENEFITS nutrients, boost soil water-holding capacity, reduce topsoil runoff, and increase plant growth.
