Method and system for processing waste

A method of processing waste comprising:

• a. feeding waste sludge comprising solid waste and liquid into at least one geotextile container positioned above-around;
• b. removing at least some of the liquid from the waste sludge using the at least one geotextile container;
• and
• c. collecting the liquid removed from the waste sludge.

A system of processing waste comprising:

• a. a waste sludge comprising solid waste and liquid;
• b. a waste reservoir for collecting the waste sludge;
• c. at least one geotextile container positioned above ground for filtering at least some of the liquid from the waste sludge, wherein the at least one geotextile container comprises an at least partially liquid permeable material;
• d. at least one pipe for transporting the waste sludge from the waste reservoir and into the at least one geotextile container;
• and
• e. a liquid reservoir located substantially adjacent to the at least one geotextile container for collecting the liquid filtered from the at least one geotextile container.

A system for processing waste comprising:

• a. a waste sludge comprising solid waste and liquid, wherein the waste sludge further comprises at least one chemical conditioner for imparting a charge to a portion of the solid waste in the waste sludge and at least one polymer carrying an opposite charge to that imparted by the at least one chemical conditioner to aid in coagulation of the solid waste in the waste sludge;
• b. at least one geotextile container for filtering at least some of the liquid from the waste sludge;
• c. at least one connector for transporting the waste sludge into the at least one geotextile container;
• d. a liquid reservoir for collecting the liquid filtered from the at least one geotextile container;
• and
• e. a three-dimensional drainage net positioned under the at least one geotextile container.
