ABOUT US

Cedar Grove Composting is part of a family-owned 250-employee enterprise with roots in the waste management business going back to 1938. As the Pacific Northwest's leading organic recycling company, Cedar Grove transforms grass, leaves, yard trimmings, foodwaste and wood waste into the finest nutrient-rich compost. From a humble beginning, Cedar Grove has developed a full line of Healthy Soils with a loyal following, such that Cedar Grove Composting has grown to become the largest single dedicated yard waste composting facility in the United States.

TECHNOLOGY & SCIENCE - Like making an exceptional wine, Cedar Grove applies an exacting science in compost production, Cedar Grove aerates 12 foot tall stacks of raw materials from below to encourage the growth of naturally occurring microbes that degrade the material, transforming it into finished compost. A feedback system closely monitors temperatures as they climb above 130 degrees F. to eliminate weed seeds, pesticide and herbicide residues and plant pathogens.
