Safe & Reliable Transportation Services
Whether it's compost, biosolids, wood ash, FiberClay TM, or food waste, New England Organics' transportation team has the trucks, the professional staff, the right equipment and experienced subcontractors to move it safely, reliably and in compliance with all laws and regulations. And that's no simple matter when one considers the requirements of OSHA, the Maine Department of Transportation and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
Each year our transporters ship over 500,000 tons of material throughout the northeastern United States to make recycling and disposal possible for hundreds of customers. Transportation Manager Bob Trombley in Unity, Maine, assisted by Scott Martineau in Concord, New Hampshire and Michele Wallace in Portland, Maine ensure that every load is picked-up and delivered on-time.
The New England Organics fleet includes tractors, dump trailers, walking floor trailers, roll-off trucks and containers of various sizes. All equipment is outfitted to safely and reliably haul difficult to handle materials. Gaskets, liners and tarps protect from spills, leaks and fugitive dust. An array of best management practices further reduce the risk of accident or injury to persons or the environment including: spill prevention and response, monthly safety training, safety and environmental audits, and regular preventative maintenance. With over 600,000 miles over the road every year, New England Organics has a near perfect record when it comes to random DOT inspections.

BIOSOLIDS & SEAWEED: Recycling in Rockland, Maine
Beautiful Rockland Harbor, one of Maine's preeminent tourist destinations, is also a source of biosolids for New England Organics' Hawk Ridge Compost Facility. For 11 years the Rockland Wastewater Treatment Plant has relied upon New England Organics to compost the City’s biosolids and return premium EARTHLIFE compost to the area’s landscapers and residents to complete the recycling loop. Terry Pinto, the plant manager, has recently entrusted New England Organics with the transportation of his biosolids, as well. Together we have enhanced the program’s efficiency and reduced the City’s need to replace and maintain transportation assets. You can learn more about the City of Rockland at www.ci.rockland.me.us.
Right next door to the treatment plant, the inquisitive tourist will discover FMC Biopolymer, Maine's only seaweed processing plant. FMC converts seaweed into carrageenan and other valuable products. After extracting the high end products from seaweed, FMC converts all the remaining material into Algefiber TM soil amendment. In 2006, FMC’s Production Manager Paul Rhoda and his colleague John McGuire selected New England Organics to develop a distribution program to bring Algefiber to local Maine farmers. A combination of R&D, strategic sales and efficient transportation operations have brought immediate success to this new program.

“BOSTON BEANS”: Choice of Ag & Turf Professionals
Our recycling/management of organic residuals includes the distribution of granulated fertilizer pellets to markets with roots in agriculture, landscaping and turf management
Affectionately referred to as “Boston Beans” by many of its loyal following, New England Organics distributes Boston’s version of MilorganiteÒ to various markets throughout New England. For example, our granulated fertilizer pellets have aided in growing safe and playable turf for many of New England’s top sports teams. From local high schools and the region’s most prestigious universities to the many professional and semi-professional teams, our fertilizer pellets have likely helped keep the turf full and green.
As an affordable alternative to chemically formulated fertilizers, our granulated biosolids pellets offer a slow release source of nitrogen, phosphorous and iron preferred by many in the sod industry in particular. As reported by a well-respected sod grower, “I have used many fertilizers and growth enhancement products and New England Organics’ pellets have out-performed them all in terms of germination, root growth and overall plant response.”
Sod growers and sports turf managers are not alone in reaping the benefits of our local source of this high quality fertilizer. The plush green that drapes some of the area’s most scenic country clubs has been supported by the same slow release source of nitrogen, iron and trace minerals that are required for healthy plant growth. In addition, various agricultural communities throughout New England use it to boost yields in their hay and corn fields, and topsoil blenders use it to add nitrogen and organic matter to soil blends. It is truly a product with a multitude of applications.
