McGill Compost
Industrial services, premium soil products
Commercial composting is our business. McGill Compost designs, builds and operates industrial-scale composting facilities to help both public- and private-sector entities improve the economic and environmental impacts of organic waste stream management. These source-separated materials become feedstocks in a commercial composting process that turns organic waste into a valuable resource — compost. Process description
Volume processing at multiple facilities
McGill-owned composting facilities are located in Virginia, North Carolina and Ireland. We also manage a McGill-licensed facility in Florida. All of our customers generate the types of volumes that require tractor-trailers, tankers and roll-off boxes for transport. Each of our U.S. operations processes 100,000 tons or more annually.

Composting for food waste, bio-plastics, sludge and more
Our process is high-rate. That means it’s fast. It’s also very efficient, capable of rapid degradation and stabilization of almost all organic materials. Yard waste, paper and cardboard, food waste, water treatment residuals, biodegradable plastics, pallets, sheetrock and other biodegradable materials are no problem for our process. The McGill process also degrades and neutralizes some types of pollutants. More about accepted materials
