A waste treatment system grinds waste material into small pieces and soaks the pieces in a liquid disinfectant. The system includes a hopper, a grinder, a main solution tank, and an auger. Unprocessed waste material is dumped into the hopper. The hopper feeds the unprocessed waste material into the grinder. The grinder includes a rotor and anvil for grinding the unprocessed waste material. The ground material falls into the main solution tank where the ground material is wetted with the liquid disinfectant. The wetted waste is carried from the main solution tank by the auger and spends an additional two to three minutes of wetted time on the auger before entering a de-watering section. The total wetting time allows the waste material to be completely disinfected.
