WM EarthCare compost and mulch are made from 100% recycled materials collected in Alameda County and processed at Davis Street. Through our network of facilities and truck routes, we move materials in round-trip patterns to minimize the carbon footprint of recycling. Using recycled landscape products in your garden reduces the carbon footprint associated with virgin materials.
Our Homegrown Compost is listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) for organic farming and carries the US Composting Council Seal of Testing Assurance. It is made from residential food scraps and yard trimmings from Alameda and Marin counties at our facility in Marin. Here the material is ground and placed into windrows to begin composting. The process takes nearly 17 weeks to produce a stable, mature compost.
Mulch is made from the clean, untreated lumber sorted at the Construction and Demolition Material Recovery Facility (MRF) and the Public Area MRF. At our WM EarthCare facility in Fremont, the wood is coarsely ground to 2, screened and dyed with naturally occurring water-based colorants. The colorant from Amerimulch is safe for use around children and pets and is guaranteed to retain its color for one year.
The WM EarthCare Landscape Center at Davis Street features compost and an assortment of mulch colors. You may also custom order large quantities as well as soil blends and aggregate. Click here for hours and prices.
