      Leafgro®
      Leafgro® is a superior quality compost used extensively by the landscape industry and home owners as a source of humus for soil improvement. Feedstock derives from local residents' yard trim to produce the STA certified product.

      By composting leaves and grass clippings that would have normally been disposed of in a landfill, the organic yard trim from residents lawn and gardens is converted into a valuable resource - Leafgro®. The composting process begins in the fall when leaves are collected from Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties and transferred to yard trim composting facilities where they are placed in windrows.  In order to accelerate the decomposition process, the rows are turned and shredded on a regular basis.  Beginning in the spring, grass clippings are added and the turning and shredding continues.  After the composting process is complete, it is dried, screened and sold under the registered trade name – Leafgro®.  

      Bagged Leafgro®

      Bagged Leafgro® is sold at the Montgomery County Yard Trim Compost Faciity (MCYTCF) in Dickerson, MD.  

      Leafgro® bags are specially made with Braskem resin using the I’m green Polyethylene, which is a plastic produced from sugarcane, a renewable material. Traditional polyethylene uses fossil sourced raw material, which include oil and natural gas. Replacing fossil fuels with a renewable feedstock significantly contributes to reducing the overall greenhouse gas emissions of the plastic value chain.  The last several years we have taken the extra step to make sure we are being environmentally conscious of our selection of Leafgro® bags.

      Leafgro GOLD®
      Leafgro GOLD® is a high quality compost derived from aerobic composting via food scraps and yard trim, which include beneficial mycelium bacteria.

      Leafgro GOLD® is a high quality compost derived from aerobic composting via food scraps and yard trim, which include beneficial mycelium bacteria.  Mycelium bacteria are known to improve soil structure, soil resilience, and the overall fertility of the soil you are planting in. Leafgro GOLD® is made from yard trim and nutrient rich food scraps that are processed using GORE® Cover Technology at the Prince George's County Organic Compost Facility (PGCOCF) in Upper Marlboro, MD. 

      According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Americans generate around 14 million tons of food scraps each year, or 106 pounds of food scraps per person. Of this, 570,000 tons is composted for a 4.1 percent recovery rate; the rest, or 13.4 million tons, is incinerated or sent to a landfill, occupying 6.3 million cubic yards of landfilled municipal solid waste. Keeping the environment in mind, the composting of yard trim and food scraps at PGCOCF, instead of being landfilled, is used to create the soil amendment, Leafgro GOLD®.
