Durham, NC - Circular Services

Our Durham Organics Processing Facilities

Through a long-term partnership with the City of Durham, Circular Services operates an advanced composting facility that transforms yard waste and biosolids into STA-Certified compost, turning what was once discarded into a valuable resource for local businesses and communities.

With this infrastructure in place, our Durham operations are building a comprehensive organics program that diverts more material from landfills and returns high-quality compost to the region, supporting healthier soils, stronger local economies, and a more circular future.

Organics to Slurry

Our organics-to-slurry service converts organic waste into a semi-liquid mixture, which can then be processed further for various applications.
