About the FORCE Project

The Florida Organics Recycling Center for Excellence (FORCE) is Florida’s Organics recycling resource center.  It was a legislatively funded project to provide a framework to promote organics recycling in a statewide effort to streamline compost processing, research, demonstration, marketing, and education in Florida. This website was developed to be utilized by three organics sectors in Florida: 1) local governments, 2) agricultural community, (3) private sector (corporate/institutional).

This website includes directories of agricultural and commercial generators, processors, and end users of compost in Florida:

• Organics Feedstock Generators
• Organics Processing Facilities
• Organics End-users (public and private)

The FORCE site is written and managed by Kessler Consulting, Inc. (KCI) staff members Miriam Zimms, LEED AP^® and Maureen T. Schaefer, Green Associate.
