With Rust Belt Riders, we re-purpose food waste otherwise destined for landfill into nutrient-rich organic compost.

Alive with microbial activity eating and cycling nutrient-rich waste, our compost is packed with vital nutrients and soil microbes that can help make plants thrive.

Our compost meets National Organic Program standards. By turning our piles five times when they reach 131°F, we ensure all weed seeds and pathogens are eradicated, providing assurance for a healthy growing environment.

It is important to note that compost is not soil. Soil is sand, silt, clay and organic matter (which may contain finished compost). This is why we do not recommend using Wendell as a growing medium, as its pH may not be conductive to plants comfort and happiness without added amendments.

Use compost as a top-dress, or rake into soil for vegetable gardens, trees and shrubs, flower beds, native perennials, lawns, and more.
