Opportunities to Get Involved
Volunteer with us as we divert organic waste from entering the landfill and turn it into an enriching soil amendment! Check out the different composting systems we are testing at the site, including our continuous flow through (CFT) vermicomposting system, aerated static pile (ASP) system, and the classic three-bin system.
You can get involved at our composting site by signing up and volunteering with us on Wednesday mornings or third Saturdays of the month, weather permitting, or by joining our community composting program as a Master Composter. More information about becoming a Master Composter can be found on our Become a Volunteer tab.

Site Location
Our community composting demonstration site is located within Martial Cottle Park at 5283 Snell Ave in San Jose. You will receive a map and driving & parking information once you register. The image below explains how to find us. Do not park in Lot A or B with out paying the day fee. If you park on Chynoweth and walk in, allow 15 minutes to get to us. If you drive in from Snell Avenue, let the Kiosk staff know you are coming to the Composting Demonstration Site and they will waive the day fee. You must drive slowly down the gravel road and park outside our gate if you don't want a parking ticket.
