- University of California, San Diego, La Jolla
The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) is participating in the City of San Diego's commercial organics collection program. The tour will highlight UCSD's food service source reduction practices, as well as source separation of food scraps in campus dining facilities. Other tour highlights include use of recyclable serviceware, collection container selection and food scraps storage in between collections.
- Agri Service, Inc., Oceanside
The El Corazon Compost Facility relocation project was completed in March 2013. The facility was designed around a forced aeration system provided by Engineered Compost Systems of Seattle. This technology reduces odor, and requires less time, land and heavy machinery usage and lowers the overall costs and carbon footprint of manufacturing compost and mulch. The facility utilizes refurbished cargo shipping containers for office structures, green roofs to help offset cooling costs, and recycled windows and doors in each office structure. The El Corazon Compost Facility is proof that composting facilities producing high-quality compost and mulch products can thrive in an urban setting that uses environmentally responsible practices.
