Compost is the product resulting from the controlled biological decomposition of organic material that has been stabilized through the generation of heat and finished to the point it is beneficial for plant growth.  We know compost and we love to market it!  Thanks to our efforts, over 1,000,000 cubic yards of earthlife™ Compost have been used to improve soil health and plant growth throughout the Northeast.   earthlife™ Compost offers consistent quality, high organic content, microbial life and valuable slow-release nutrients.

Casella Organics sells compost from multiple facilities located throughout New England that use a variety of feedstocks.  We specialize in assisting compost facilities with the distribution of their end-product to maximize value.

Yard trimmings and wood waste make up a significant portion of the "waste" generated in our society.  Luckily there are many programs designed to collect and reuse this valuable material.  Many municipalites offer leaf and yard collection or composting to residents, and a number of private businesses offer tree services including wood products and mulch production.  We manage this type of organic material in composting and value-added processing.

FOG stands for “Fats, Oils and Grease” and is found in your kitchen or garage. The main contribution of FOG is from discharge of used grease from cooking processes, but can also be caused by machinery lubricants discharged into floor drains. Many of the foods we eat contain FOG; these include meats, sauces, salad dressings, deep-fried dishes, cookies, pastries, butter and many others. Generally, food scraps washed down the drain also contribute to FOG in the sewers. Grease accumulation in the sewer system causes obstruction by constricting flow of the sewer pipes, and interfering with the normal operation of your community waste-water treatment system.

Wood Ash is produced from the combustion of clean wood and bark products to generate power. There are many types and sizes of boilers that burn biomass to generate power.  We are experienced in managing ash from a variety of them.  The resulting ash is an agricultural soil amendment ideal for balancing soil pH and enhancing nutrient levels. Wood Ash can contain significant amounts of magnesium, potassium, and many other micronutrients important to healthy crop production. Since 1983, Wood Ash provided by Casella Organics has been chosen by farmers to increase soil pH, improve soil fertility, and increase crop yield. Wood Ash is easily applied with conventional lime or manure spreading equipment.  Visit our products section to learn more about our innovative programs to put wood ash to use and complete the cycle of using wood for energy - but returning valuable nutrients to the soil.
