The compost program has helped the prison and City of Folsom divert a significant amount of organic material from disposal. Program Summary Folsom State Prison is divided into two facilities, California State Prison, Sacramento and Folsom State Prison. Food scraps and green material are collected from both facilities, but the majority of feedstock comes from the City of Folsom’s residential and commercial waste streams. Inmates from the City of Folsom Community Correctional Facility provide the labor to run the composting facility. ... The final compost product is marketed by the City of Folsom where it is used for city landscape planting projects, or sold to local residents and landscape contractors. Occasionally Folsom State Prison takes back some compost for use on their landscaped areas. ... Diversion Amounts Each year, the Folsom State Prison Recycling Center diverts 730 tons of food waste (about 60 tons/month) and 360 tons of green material (about 30 tons/month). Key Benefits Folsom State Prison has realized significant benefits from their organics diversion program: Folsom’s program has saved the prison $3,763 per month in tipping fees from July 2000 to March 2001. ...
