Transforming Organic Waste into Climate Solutions
As the largest composter in Oregon and the owner of five composting facilities in California, we take food scraps and yard waste and transform them into nutrient-rich compost that supports healthy soils and climate resilience. Our compost helps sequester carbon, improves soil structure, retains water, and promotes regenerative growing practices across agricultural landscapes.
Each year, Recology produces more than one million tons of compost, returning organic material back to the land as a nutrient-rich soil amendment. This compost supports farms, vineyards, and land managers across the region—strengthening local food systems and completing the circular journey from waste to renewed resources.
This schematic is not representative of every step in the composting process or how all organic material is managed. Each facility is uniquely designed and may have different processing technology.
Our Network of Organics Facilities
By collecting and processing yard trimmings and food scraps, Recology produces compost, soil blends, and a variety of mulches. Our closed-loop processes in California and Oregon produce nutrient-rich soil amendments that help fight climate change.
