Common Compost is a sustainable food recycling and composting service provider located in Oakland, California. We're dedicated to increasing access to high quality, locally produced compost for urban agricultural projects. Our programs encourage food processors to think more holistically about food waste and help them to reclaim it as a renewable resource for nearby community gardens, farms, and city soil.

The Compost Group creates healthy soil from North San Diego County’s food scraps. We haul commercial and residential food scraps from the community and process it into a pathogen-free high-quality soil at our mini facility in San Marcos. We utilize in-vessel composting technology to maximize our capacity and ensure we can handle the food scraps from major hotels, restaurants, and manufacturing facilities - though you can compost your home kitchen scraps with us as well by signing up for our curbside bucket collection service or dropping off at the local Farmer’s Market.

Food2Soil, affectionately known as San Diego’s Neighborhood Composter, is a collective of chefs and farmers, businesses and individuals, entrepreneurs and innovators building a people-powered, community-centered foundation for the circular economy. We believe that waste is a resource that has intrinsic social, environmental and economic value. Our programs are designed to challenge us to extract this value so it turns into income for farmers and living soil for our farms. We are a community-supported social enterprise founded in 2015 to make composting affordable and accessible for all San Diegans. View our impact and join us in building a network of decentralized, people-powered, community-centered compost hubs all over Southern California

Isla Vista Compost Collective (IVCC) is a program under the Isla Vista Community Services District that provides a student-run compost hauling service to Isla Vista residents for free. IVCC’s Dirtriders provide households with five gallon buckets, allow them to compost for one week, and then pick up their compost buckets via bicycle and drop off new clean buckets. Our Dirtriders drop off the food waste at local community compost piles to provide compost to build healthy soil and grow food in community gardens. As of October 2020, we are composting for 96 households and have diverted more than 25,000 pounds of food waste from the landfill since 2018.

Resoil Sacramento/GRAS' vision is to make Sacramento a model regenerative city, one that uses its own organic resources to build up the health and climate-resiliency of its neighborhoods.

GRAS is dedicated to growing a sustainable food community in the Farm-to-Fork Capital through education and action. We aim to make sustainable practices accessible to everyone.

As a community, we can take action on reducing greenhouse gases, and direct tons of organic matter each year toward building healthy soils in Sacramento  to fight flood and drought, erosion, and heat-island effects, and sequester carbon and support food sovereignty... with the aim to retrofit our City with Nature.
