Jepson Prairie Organics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Norcal Waste Systems, Inc., operates a compost facility at 6426 Hay Road, two miles east of Vacaville, California. We are proud to be 100% employee-owned and operated. Jepson Prairie Organics' unique recycling program diverts yard trimmings, food scraps and other compostable material from homes, restaurants, hotels, markets, delis, and coffee shops in the Bay Area. These source materials create an especially rich, black compost - perfect for reconditioning soil due to its diverse feedstock. Closing the Recycling Loop Our compost is listed with the Organics Material Review Institute (OMRI) as an approved compost amendment on certified organic soils. Farms sell the fresh produce they grow with this compost at farmer's markets throughout the Bay Area. These markets provide produce to the individual consumers and restaurants that initially generated the food scraps. In this way, we have closed the recycling loop locally. In addition to marketing its compost to the organic farming industry, Jepson Prairie Organics sells its material to vineyards, retail soil bagging operations, landscape material yards, highway erosion and control projects. |
