We love what you are doing and want to work together with you. Agromin is a pioneer in the sustainable management of biodegradable resources. We are dedicated to the enhancement of our business, our society and the environment through innovation along each turn of the recycling loop.

Each year, we convert almost 380,000 tons of recycled organic materials into rich living compost, mulch and other premium soil products for area farmers, landscapers, gardeners, and retailers. Resulting from this process of sustainably renewing our soil resources, we contribute to water conservation, prevention of soil depletion, reduction in green house gas (GHG) emissions and a decreased need for oil-based fertilizers and chemicals.

As stewards of the Earth, we are committed to the protection and renewal of our soil resources, to build a more sustainable future and a greener world–for us, for our children and for generations yet to come.

Thanks for what you are doing.

Awesome article, thanks for that. It’s good to see that people are composting more and more. I think that everybody should do it!

Thanks again for a good read.

Cheers,

Great article. Thanks. Does WF plan to have food waste drop-off locations for their customers? I live in NY and such locations are limited especially in downtown area.

This is great! I would love to talk to a local WF person who is working on this issue in my locality. I am in Chicago. Can someone connect me?

Are there any plans for operations in the Midwest? It seems the concentration of stores in the Chicago area might make a critical mass of compstble materials.

This is awesome! I wish WF could also offer a food waste drop-off point for customers wanting to reuse their waste but lack composting facilities.

I’m delighted to hear more about WF’s composting efforts. As an avid composter I wish to correct one small error in your blog. You wrote “over time, the sun heats up the mix and it breaks down, eventually producing humus or compost.” Any heat in a compost pile is generated internally: by the contents decomposing.

Why do I bother to point this out? Because it means that one can compost in the shade, or during cold weather, or where it’s cloudy, or … you get the idea.

The fully painted compost bin looks great! I think that anyone who saw that coming down the road would have to stop and stare. I can only hope that ours turns out that eye-catching!
