We're a veteran-owned business focused on making great compost and soil blends. We operate 2 compost facilities in Aberdeen, Maryland and Alexandria, Virginia and have a third under construction in Lothian, Maryland.
Everyday we collect food scraps from homes, offices, and businesses throughout Maryland, Washington DC and Northern Virginia. We compost those food scraps along with wood chips and make some pretty good stuff.
