About

AgRecycle is an American composting and organic materials recycling company focused on reducing landfill waste while producing nutrient-rich soil amendments for agriculture, landscaping, gardens, and broader sustainable uses. The company provides comprehensive composting solutions that prevent biodegradable waste — including food scraps, yard debris, herbivore manure, and other compostable materials — from ending up in landfills, where they contribute significant greenhouse gas emissions. Instead, AgRecycle transforms these organic streams into beneficial compost products and soil blends that improve soil health and support sustainable land use. Founded in 1991, AgRecycle holds the distinction of being one of the earliest commercial composting enterprises in the United States established and owned by a woman. It continues to remain woman-owned and operated. Over its decades-long history, the company has expanded its environmental services to incorporate waste auditing, tailored composting systems, consulting on waste reduction strategies, and outreach to a wide range of organizations and industries looking to meet sustainability goals. Its operations are fully permitted under Pennsylvania regulatory frameworks (and in some cases other states), allowing the composting of a wide range of biodegradable materials, provided they are properly source-separated and suitable for composting. AgRecycle serves businesses, educational institutions, event venues, farms, municipalities, and community organizations, offering both collection and consulting services that fit different scales of waste production. Through these partnerships, the company helps organizations not only divert waste but also integrate composting practices into daily operations, enhancing efficiency and environmental impact. AgRecycle’s offerings include screened composts, soil blends, bark and leaf mulches, and professional guidance on building in-house composting capabilities. With its roots deeply tied to environmental stewardship, the company’s mission centers on creating a circular approach to waste that benefits both local communities and the planet.
