Facility Information
VPPSA has operated the 22-acre facility on Goodwin Neck Road since its inception in 1994. The facility has a staff of eight personnel who together with Hampton, Poquoson and York County, process over 30,000 tons of vegetative yard waste annually.
The Compost Facility receives brush, leaves, grass and other vegetative material from city and county vehicles, residents, and commercial customers. The materials are separated by type and then processed into our compost & mulch products.
During the decomposition process, leaves and grass are continuously aerated and monitored for temperature. Larger materials are ground into mulch using the facility’s grinder. Once ground, this material is then cured in large static piles for a minimum of three months. During this time the material will reach temperatures of over 180°F, effectively removing pathogens, weed seeds, insects and residual insect larvae.
Who Can Use the Facility?

The VPPSA Compost Facility has recently joined the U.S. Composting Council’s Seal of Testing Assurance (STA) Program. This program requires compost producers to regularly test their products through an approved STA laboratory.
As a participant, VPPSA is required to make test results available to any person upon request, using the STA program’s “Compost Technical Data Sheet”. This sheet includes directions for product use, a list of product ingredients and analytical test results.
For more information on the STA program, and other participating composters in the state of Virginia, contact the VPPSA Compost Facility or the US Composting Council at: www.uscompostingcouncil.org.
