Our poop goes to a waste treatment facility where they separate the solids out, then dehydrate those solids and compress them into pellets which are then loaded onto railcars and shipped out west. From there, they'll mix the dried up turd pellets with wood chips and grass clippings and let it fester for a few months, then screen out the woodchips for reuse and use the remaining material as fertilizer. The remaining poop water at the waste treatment facility gets treated with chemicals until it's sanitary and/or pumped into the ocean.

I work as a machinery mover, we install generators mostly for the processing plants. They all Have their own pungent smells. The worst was working on the top of the vats and replacing a blade of some sort. Wow the smell would make you tear up, you had to throw the shirts out gloves out because it was so disgusting

I used to work at that wastewater treatment facility ( Joint Meetings of Essex and Union Counties)
They don't make the pellets anymore, but the dewatered sludge is still trucked out for filler and what not.
