Network-connected apparatus promoting environmentally responsible processing and disposition of organic matter data

An organic matter processing apparatus (OMPA) comprising:

• a bucket configured to receive OMPA input that is treated by the OMPA to convert received OMPA input into OMPA output, wherein the OMPA output is a dry and shelf-stable product;
• a mass sensing system coupled to the bucket and configured to measure mass of the bucket;
• communications circuitry;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• obtain mass values of the bucket throughout a bucket insert/bucket removal cycle;
• include the mass values in an organic matter data set;
• and
• transmit the organic matter data set via the communications circuitry, wherein the processor is further configured to:
• execute organic matter processing of OMPA input contained in the bucket, the organic matter processing comprising paddling, cutting, and heating to convert OMPA input into OMPA output;
• obtain mass values and moisture content values during execution of the organic matter processing or after completion of the organic matter processing;
• perform mass calculations based on the obtained mass values;
• perform moisture calculations based on the obtained moisture content values;
• add mass calculations and moisture content calculations to the organic matter data set;
• temporarily stop operation of the paddling and cutting;
• and
• obtain mass values and moisture content values while the paddling and cutting are temporarily stopped.
