I am not an expert on this subject but have the feeling that in the rigt composition formulation you can use your waste as a fertilizer by product

The dichromate is going to be the problem. Any way to remove it from the other compounds. If so it could be used as fertilizer.

Another possibility is giving to asphalt or concrete blenders.
