      Certified Green Organics Program

      A truck dumps yard waste at the Compost Facility.

      The Certified Green Organics Program is designed to offer savings to businesses who frequent Phoenix transfer stations to dump their green waste loads.

      The program diverts green organic waste and keeps it out of landfills by turning it into compost at the City of Phoenix 27th Avenue Compost Facility. The program provides discounted tipping rates at the transfer station for businesses who participate.
