Republic Services has started construction on the San Bernardino Sustainability Park, a next-generation organics processing facility in San Bernardino County, California, expected to open in late 2026. The facility will initially process more than 300,000 tons of yard and food waste annually, with planned scalability to 600,000 tons per year, using advanced aerated static pile composting technology. Located on a 140-acre site with 60 acres dedicated to compost operations, it will be supported by a network of Republic Services transfer stations, serving as a significant organics hub for Los Angeles and Orange counties. The project aims to help communities meet California's SB 1383 organic waste reduction requirements while creating jobs and returning locally produced compost to surrounding communities. Republic Services currently operates 17 organics facilities in California and processed 886,000 tons of food and yard waste across the state in 2025.
