Overview
We adhere to the Best Practice Standards set forth for the composting industry based on the science of bio-degradation and the needed time periods and temperature shifts to maximize the development of beneficial micro-organisms that make our composts truly remarkable in their role as soil amendments.
There are no short cuts at AgRecycle. Neither "hot rot" nor "passive stockpiling" are methods employed in our process.
Throughout this optimal process of beneficial decomposition, all compost feedstocks are monitored for oxygen, moisture, and temperature while being mechanically turned when precise readings are achieved. As such, it takes us between seven and eleven months to manufacture, screen, and cure each batch before we feel it is ready to market.
All AgRecycle composts are manufactured in accordance with both Pennsylvania's and the EPA's permitting requirements for decomposition, monitoring and product stability.

Provides the same functionality as bark mulch but displays a different cosmetic appeal. It also supplies an additional nutrient enrichment to the soil as it breaks down. $40.00 per cubic yard.
