Earth Appliance Organics Company was founded in 2007 with a desire to design products that enhance residential and community scale composting. Our innovations and processing techniques extend the composting season for small processors and match the capabilities of a commercial compost facility for community and medium scale composting, right in the neighborhood. 

We established the first year-round compost depot at the Hope Artiste Village, in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, where any resident could drop off food scraps. Composted, right on site using our Mobile Composter prototype, this demonstration site served as a catalyst to several subsequent initiatives, including the development of our second site at Frey Gardens, next to Frey Florist and Greenhouse, in Providence.

When we expanded to Providence, we set out to open the first registered Medium Scale Social Enterprise Compost Facility, in Rhode Island. Once the Rhode Island solid waste regulations were updated in 2016 to support community scale composting, we registered with RIDEM and in early 2018, we secured the FIRST Medium-Scale Composting license to operate!

The next year, we obtained a patent for our in-vessel composter. We aim to create affordable solutions for on-site composting, using our patented technologies. Our one-stop neighborhood-based solutions for all types of food scraps, leaves and yard waste takes the guesswork out of composting clean organics. It all goes in the bin, and it all gets composted. “Making compost happen, locally,” is what we say and do.

Our first compost system we’re piloting, the EAOC Community Composter, an in-vessel design, for community use. It is currently being field tested at three sites. We aim to make this available to the market soon as we fine-tune our system. Stay tuned as we iterate toward commercialization.

And, of course, we make and sell Premium Compost & Vermicompost direct to you. See our Shopping page for available options.
