The El Corazon Compost Facility Partnership.
Recognizing that traditional methods of green waste disposal such as open burning or landfilling are both inefficient and environmentally unsound, the City of Oceanside partnered with Agri Service, Inc. in 1995 to develop an innovative public-private recycling program. This novel program set out to put incoming organic material to good use at fees below those of landfills. The result? Oceanside’s El Corazon Compost Facility, a landmark green waste compost facility authorized by the CalRecycle, a division of the California Department of Natural Resources.
At the El Corazon Compost Facility, we are dedicated to serving the environment from regional to individual levels by reducing landfill waste, creating beneficial soil amendments, and sharing the most up-to-date industry standards with our customers and the community.
Since its inception, the compost facility has processed over 1 million tons of green waste into high quality soil amendments, mulch and potting mixes. The facility’s success at matching incoming flow with outgoing sales of mulch and soil amendment products is renowned and ample evidence of how public-private partnerships can succeed at scale. Educational and community outreach programs as well as active industry involvement and job creation are further high points of the overall project.

Recycle sign for events that are composting paper
Recycling items like cans, bottles, jugs, tubs, aluminum foil and trays can help the environment. Cartons are also recyclable. Paper products should be composted instead of recycled.
Compost
Compost can include food waste like meat, bones, and cheese as well as paper products like napkins, plates, cups and bowls. Wood items that can be composted are utensils, coffee stirrers and skewers. Plastic, metal and glass should not be included in compost.
Trash
Trash can include plastic utensils, styrofoam, cup lids, straws, plastic wrap and plastic bags. These are common disposable single-use items that are made of plastic materials and often end up as litter or in landfills. Reducing use of these types of items can help decrease plastic pollution in the environment.
Compost whately grades 4 6 for bill obear
Composting is a natural process that turns food waste and other organic materials into nutrient-rich soil. There are different scales of composting, from small indoor worm bins to large commercial operations. Whately Elementary School does medium-scale composting of cafeteria food scraps and paper in an on-site bin, which is then taken to Bear Path Farm for large-scale composting. Composting keeps food waste out of landfills, where it would decompose and release the potent greenhouse gas methane.
"Composting 101" Presentation
This document provides an overview of the benefits of composting and how to set up a compost bin. Composting saves money for homeowners and municipalities by reducing trash costs.
