Long Island Compost has been the region’s premier organics recycling facility for more than 30 years. Each year, the company recycles hundreds of thousands of tons of leaves, grass clippings, and other landscape materials generated across Long Island. We take this material in from over 2,000 landscaping customers in both Nassau and Suffolk Counties each year and process them to manufacture garden products that we then sell back into the marketplace. This provides an environmentally sound, 360-degree solution to the region’s organic yard waste problems.

Long Island Compost was founded in the early 1990s by Charles Vigliotti and his brothers, Arnold and Dominick, following nearly two decades of operating their carting business, Vigliotti Bros. Carting Corporation, established in 1976. Today, the company remains family-owned and is led by Charles along with his daughter, Gia Vigliotti-Barone, and Charles Barone as partners.

In 2016, Long Island Compost entered a partnership with Scotts Miracle-Gro, paving the way to work together in the retail market, with Long Island Compost providing material and real estate, and Scotts distributing product and marketing to garden centers throughout the Northeast. 

We pride ourselves on our high-quality control standards, our OMRI certifications, our successful engineered soil frontline projects, and creating a top tier recycling standard on Long Island and beyond. We own and operate the busiest yard waste transfer station at our Westbury site where we handle logistics of processing and trucking the raw materials to our various farm sites and manufacturing site in Yaphank NY.  No one provides organic waste solutions to the landscaping industry on Long Island the way we do.
