Composting in Whatcom County, WA

Green Earth Technology composts most organic materials. Yard waste including brush, grass, leaves and weeds are good for composting. There is no size limit on what you can bring, as long as you can get it here and unloaded we can take it. We also compost food scraps.
  • If food papers have foil or plastic on them, we cannot accept them.
  • If an item is “biodegradable" it does not mean that it is compostable. 
We highly discourage the use of single-use service ware. When we doubt, we throw it out – so your costly liner may be going to the landfill. If you have to use single-use service ware, follow this link to products that we will take here. The items must be purchased directly from this site anything else that might be "similar" will be thrown out.

We encourage using products other than plastic. Reusable liners or newspaper layered at the bottom of your container are ways to eliminate the need for plastic liners. Consider simply washing your container out periodically instead. Any compostable plastics must meet ASTM 9000 standards. Look for this on the label.
