Growing Media – Compost & Recycling
Every gardening season, consumers purchase more than 250 million bags of ScottsMiracle-Gro soils and mulches. In doing so, these gardeners are working as partners in what may be one of the world’s largest recycling efforts.

On an annual basis, ScottsMiracle-Gro uses more than 5 billion pounds of reused material––such as compost made from leaves and brush trimmings. Soils and potting mixes include byproducts from forestry, dairy farming, poultry farming, wine-making, rice processing, coconut harvesting and mushroom farming. In compost alone, the company consumes more than 2 million cubic yards annually.
