Introducing our community composting operation, where we transform organic waste into nutrient-rich compost that can be used to nourish gardens and farms in our local area. By participating in our program, you can help reduce the amount of waste going to landfills while also supporting sustainable agriculture and healthier soils.
Compost is a pile of organic waste that over time breaks down or "decomposes" into a nutrient rich soil.
Organic means something that was once alive or came from a living thing.
Throwing away your food scraps and yard waste has many negative effects, where composting solves many of the following naturally.
Compost can also lower long-term maintenance costs for projects. This is because compost promotes healthy plant growth, reducing mortality and subsequent replacement costs. In addition, compost promotes drought resistance which lowers artificial irrigation costs.
Compost can assist highway and transportation departments in activities related to the protection, reclamation, or creation of wetlands. Compost installed between roadways and wetlands can filter pollutants caused by automobile traffic. In addition, compost is a great additivie to wetland reclamation or projects since those ecosystems require highly organic materials.
By adding nutrients and soil biota, compost improves the biological, chemical and structural health of soils. THis further contributes to healthy plants and successful projects.
We provide you with a compost bucket with instructions for what can and cannot be composted. You collect your organic waste and we'll come by on our designated day and pick it up, or you can drop it off at one of our convenient locations. Our team then varefully manages the composting process, ensuring that the materials break down into a high-quality compost that is safe for use in gardens and farms.
By participating in our community composting program, you'll also be part of the growing movement towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. You'll be helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote biodiversity, and create a healthier community for everyone, as well as building new enterprises in the green economy.
Our rates start at just $25 for a 5 gallon bucket for residential & commercial customers or $10 for drop-off locations. For larger container and frequencies and other special needs, please don't hesitate to ask about special rates for businesses and organizations. We're committed to making our community composting program accessible to everyone, no matter their needs or budget.
