COMPOST & SOIL AMENDMENTS

Our compost is a cost-effective farming practice and its use has many benefits. The high organic nutrient content High including nitrogen & calcium, breathes life into depleted soils.

  • It increases water retention
  • It aids drainage in clay or heavy soils
  • It reduces soil diseases
  • It works as a natural option for weed suppression
  • Research shows application in vineyards has produced greater leaf growth & yield
  • Choosing local reduces the carbon footprint of trucking& closes the loop on sustainability
  • When you use compost and work to keep organics out of the landfill, you are helping protect our planet from the consequences of climate change.

Find out more by visiting our Residential Compost or Commercial Compost pages.

Please Note: Food Scraps collection has not been implemented in rural Lake County but it's coming soon!

Our Products

One of the easiest ways to improve your soils structure is to add organic matter, Organic matter gives the soil more porosity which helps the soil retain water and also store oxygen which is necessary for plant growth.

New State Law Requirements for Self-Haul Organic Waste

The SB 1383, California’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction Strategy, require commercial organic waste generators, including landscapers, to maintain certain records if they comply with the organic waste collection service requirement by self-hauling their generated organic waste. (Title 14, Chapter 12, Article 3, Section 18984.9) 

NOT YET APPLICABLE IN RURAL LAKE COUNTY- BUT COMING SOON

The records commercial businesses that self-haul must keep are:

  • Delivery receipts and weight tickets from each entity receiving organic materials, including the amount of organic material in cubic yards or tons.
  • If the organic waste is transported to a site that does not have scales or that employs scales incapable of weighing the waste received, the self-hauler is not required to record the weight of material. However, the self-hauler must maintain a record of the entity that received the organic waste.

For more information on self-hauling requirements visit CalRecycle.  You can also download this CalRecycle_Recordkeeping_tool_Self-Haulers to help you track your self-hauling.

Residential self-haulers do not need to maintain these records.
