Receiving: We receive incoming feedstocks from pre-approved vendors who drop off pre-consumer residuals, spoiled produce and wood chips to our facility.
Mixing: Incoming feedstocks are blended at a specific recipe in a vertical feed mixer to create a uniform material with an ideal C:N ratio.
Aeration: Compost is loaded into an aerated static bay for 5-6 weeks of controlled biological decomposition where temperatures and conditions are monitored daily.
Curing: Compost is cured in windrows where temperatures can stabilize and optimal microbial and fungal diversity is reached over time.
Screening: We run material through a screener to remove larger particles and create a finished product for use in either direct landscape application or for use as an ingredient in potting soils.
WHY COMPOSTING?
Composting is organics recycling for transforming wasted food scraps into a nutrient-rich soil amendment.
Composting is one of the key climate solutions we can implement now to build the low carbon future we must deliver for our next generation.
Compost facilities are critical infrastructure for the shift to local & organic food production.
