Davis Street Transfer Center

The Davis Street Transfer Center is a place where waste is being reused, and turned into soil. About 250 people work in this 56 acre site that supports nearly 20 cities in the Bay Area.












































Grover's Wonder Grow is the result of Alameda county's green bins. In Alameda County your yard trimmings and food waste is composted at their Vernalis facility using organic processes, and brought back for a rich soil amendment to your garden. They recycle 75% of the materials that go there. Restaurants and other companies send their food wastes or leftovers and other materials to their Gilroy Site so that they compost them.
Trash goes to the landfills; a Landfill is a huge hole on Earth where all the trash goes. The Landfill for Alameda County is in Gilroy.
