Mountains of green waste kept out of landfill thanks to community recyclers, Carson Valley-based Full Circle Compost
With help from the green waste recyclers in our community, Cason Valley-based Full Circle Soils & Compost had a record-breaking compost year in 2020.
Full Circle Compost kept a total of 87,088.24 cubic yards of organic materials out of the landfill. That’s equal to filling the Wolfpack’s football field 41-feet high with yard waste. Wow!
The volume this material weighed was an impressive 40,164.28 tons! That weight is equal to 16,257 Tesla Model S cars. And the greenhouse gases that were avoided by composting all of that material rather than throwing it into the landfill is equivalent to pulling 29,218 cars off the road (based on the EPA WARM model). Check it out!
Full Circle’s green waste recycling program has grown to include many municipalities and organizations around northern Nevada and Lake Tahoe, including:
— Carson City’s residential organic materials composting program
— Incline Village’s fire prevention pine needle composting program
— South Lake Tahoe’s fire prevention pine needle composting program
— South Lake Tahoe’s commercial food waste program
— Truckee, California’s commercial food waste program
— University Of Nevada’s organic materials composting program
— Many landscape organizations’ organic materials composting programs
— Many construction and excavation organizations’ organic materials composting programs
On top of that, Full Circle turned it all into good-for-the-planet, good-for-your-plants Nevada-made compost, soils, and mulches to help increase the health of our local soils.
