    About Composting

    This Rockland County Cocomposting Facility recycles bio-solids from the wastewater treatment plants in Rockland County. The bio-solids are mixed with clean wood waste and then composted. The finished product is an excellent soil amendment for use on golf courses, flower gardens and landscaping projects.

    The Facility is a state-of-the-art in-vessel agitated bin composting plant which processes clean brush, wood waste, bio-solids (sludge) and other organic residues in the production of an exceptional quality compost. The Facility is operated by WeCare Organics under contract to the Authority. It is located adjacent to Rockland Green's Materials Recovery Facility and Transfer Station in Hillburn, NY.

    The Co-Composting Facility accepts clean wood including tree parts, brush, pallets and lumber. Wood treated with paint, adhesive, creosote, laquer or other chemicals, however, is not acceptable. The fee is $25.00 per ton. The fee for wood pallets is $10.00 per ton. Pre-ground woodchips are periodically accepted for free. All materials are subject to inspection and acceptance by facility operator. Please call (845) 753-2242 for more detailed information.
