Manufacturing and Municipal Activity

Long Island Compost is an integral member of Long Island's dwindling manufacturing base, as it manages every aspect of the production and packaging of its popular Hampton Estates organic soil products.

Each year, the company is responsible for manufacturing more than 5 million bags of soil products that go directly back into the Long Island marketplace. By creating the product on Long Island and distributing it through hundreds of local garden and home centers, Long Island Compost:

• Eliminates thousands of interstate trucking trips
• Keeps costs down for Long Islanders by supplying a product that is more competitively priced than the national brands.

Municipal Activity
Municipalities throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties have come to depend on Long Island Compost as a trusted partner in the disposal of organic materials and remediation of polluted sites. Town governments know they can turn to Long Island Compost for a host of environmental services and cost effective solutions.

Town of Brookhaven: Long Island Compost is able to save taxpayers in Brookhaven hundreds of thousands of dollars a year by keeping organic materials out of the Town of Brookhaven incinerator and recycling the organic material through composting. Additionally, the arrangement with Brookhaven reduces odors at the Town landfill and represents the most environmentally responsible way to recycle Town of Brookhaven's sizeable quantity of landscape-related waste.

Town of Oyster Bay: As in other municipalities, Long Island Compost assists Town of Oyster Bay by making it possible for the Town to meet recycling standards. In addition to saving Town residents at least a quarter million dollars a year, Long Island Compost enables Town of Oyster Bay to dispose of its yard waste and enjoy the environmental benefits of recycling.

Other Municipalities: Whether it's working with Town of Hempstead to set up a Town-wide recycling program that won New York State approval or keeping 200,000 tons a year of organic waste out of local incinerators, Long Island Compost continues to play a vital role in townships across Nassau and Suffolk Counties by saving taxpayers money and addressing a problem that most municipalities are not equipped to handle.
