Our Organics team was front-and-center in Sacramento last week at Compost 2026, the U.S. Composting Council’s annual conference. The event brought together industry leaders for learning sessions, facility tours, equipment demo, networking and an exhibit hall—showcasing the latest innovations in composting and organics management.
Our team is helping lead that innovation. Otay Sustainability Park was the topic of a special session at the conference. A big shout out to Chris S., Director of Organics Operations, for leading the session.
