Compost Connector Program

We are proud to partner with Zero Foodprint’s Compost Connector Program!

This new program was developed to promote healthy soil and carbon sequestration while also incentivizing the distribution of the compost created as a result of CA SB 1383. It is open to farmers and ranchers in San Diego County that would like to save money purchasing our SB 1383 compliant compost. If you are interested in receiving a rebate for a partial reimbursement when buying SPV Soils SB 1383 compliant compost, you must first join the program.

Go to Zero Foodprint’s Compost Connector Program webpage and fill out an intake form and sign the contract. Approval can take up to 48 hours. Then simply follow the instructions to participate in the program using their portal. It is very easy! Once you have received confirmation that you have been approved, log in to reserve your rebate. Use code “SPVS” when reserving your discount to gain access to our special $5.20 per cubic yard rebate. The discount is based on available inventory and it can vary.

After you reserve your code, you have 30 days to place order and submit documentation. Once you receive your compost, upload the required documentation, images, and compost sales invoice to their portal for approval and reimbursement. Watch their Compost Connector Tutorial video to get all the details on how the program works.
