A Local, Family-Run Compost Processing Facility.

The Alberni Clayoquot Regional District’s groundbreaking roadside organics collection program is set to revolutionize waste management in Port Alberni, and at the helm of this initiative is Earth, Land & Sea, a trusted local processing facility. Tasked with handling a diverse range of organic materials, including residential food waste, yard waste, and compostable fiber products, Earth, Land & Sea is expanding its operations to accommodate this monumental undertaking.

We Utilize the GORE® Cover composting system

At the heart of their expansion lies the revolutionary GORE® Cover composting system. This cutting-edge solution is celebrated worldwide for its efficacy in moisture regulation and odor control. Not only is it environmentally responsible, but it also streamlines the composting process with minimal energy consumption and human intervention.

 Through a meticulous six-step approach, Earth, Land & Sea can transform organic waste into nutrient-rich “black gold” in only eight weeks, with the final product screened with the utmost attention to detail to remove any contaminants. Earth, Land & Sea recognizes concerns around odors and pests, and they are dedicated to maintaining strict vector controls while leveraging their decades of expertise to mitigate any potential issues. 

Their commitment to allocating 10% of the compost produced to the ACRD and the City of Port Alberni for various local initiatives exemplifies their dedication to community benefit. As Earth, Land & Sea continues to innovate and collaborate, they reinforce their position as champions of sustainable waste management, driving positive change for both the environment and the community they serve.
