Compost Application Workshop and Live Equipment Demonstration, Pleasanton, June 10, 2025
This information is being sent by CalRecycle as a courtesy to an outside organization. CalRecycle makes no warranties with respect to the accuracy of the information or its suitability for any particular purpose.
StopWaste and the Association of Compost Producers, in partnership with the City of Pleasanton, are hosting a Compost Application Workshop and Live Equipment Demonstration to support local jurisdictions understand the benefits and what it takes to apply compost in their jurisdictions, and how to get procurement credit for investments in spreading equipment.
As of January 1, 2025, purchases of compost spreaders, blowers, some accessories, and chippers and stump grinders can count toward a portion (up to 10%) of a jurisdiction’s procurement target. We have heard that several jurisdictions are considering pursuing this opportunity, but would like more information on what kind of equipment is available and how to decide what (or if) to purchase. We also get a lot of questions about how to actually apply compost to turf fields. Lastly, it’s a great time to share the results of a new UC Merced study on the soil carbon sequestration benefits (and other benefits) of compost application on sports fields.

We hope you will attend or send some staff (contractors to the jurisdictions are welcome also) to this event—it will be very informational about the new rules for procurement and using compost in the jurisdiction.
