The Association of Compost Producers was founded in 1995 with the goal of increasing the value and volume of compost in California. Over the next several decades, California would emerge as an ambitious leader organics recovery efforts. We continue to advocate for more composting and compost use in California to build healthy soil, grow healthy food, and contribute to a healthier environment. Our membership includes composters of all sizes, consultants, municipalities, non-profits, equipment companies, and innovators in the industry. Members receive discounted or free tickets to webinars, workshops, and invitation only networking events, as well as opportunities to connect with regulators and representatives on our common goals for a healthier future.

It's hard to believe it's already been a month since the fires erupted in Los Angeles. As the ash settles, the rains start, and people begin on the road to recovery, so does the earth beneath our feet. We're proud to have ACP members supporting these recovery efforts all across Los Angeles. Compost is a versatile tool for fire remediation, and over the coming weeks and months we will be highlighting our members who have been quietly laying the groundwork for a more resilient future. Usually - literally. One example is long time ACP member 301 Organics, who is developing an innovative approach to soil bioremediation. If you're interested in learning more, contact Christine Lenches-Hinkel. #Compost #FireRecovery #FireRemediation #LosAngeles #California
