The Compost Plant is a pioneering waste management organization dedicated to transforming organic waste into valuable resources. Located in Rhode Island, the Compost Plant addresses a pressing environmental challenge, as the state’s sole landfill is projected to reach full capacity by 2034. With nearly one-third of local waste consisting of compostable materials, the Compost Plant has successfully diverted around 35,000 tons of organic waste from landfills, converting it into high-quality compost and renewable energy.

Founded by Nat Harris and Leo Pollock, the Compost Plant operates with a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement. The team is characterized by its entrepreneurial spirit and urgency to tackle waste-related issues. Beyond composting services, they actively promote job opportunities for individuals looking to contribute to climate change solutions through hands-on work in waste management. With a mission that reflects both innovation and sustainability, the Compost Plant is redefining waste as a resource and empowering Rhode Islanders to make a positive impact on the environment.
