The North Carolina Composting Council (NCCC) is a volunteer-run organization dedicated to the development, expansion, and promotion of composting and compost use in both the domestic and industry setting. Our work is based on sound science, principles of sustainability, and economic viability. The NCCC will achieve its mission by:

• encouraging and guiding research
• promoting best composting practices
• establishing standards
• enhancing product quality and markets 
• education professionals and the public about the use of compost and its effect on soil fertility

Since 2007, NCCC has been an authorized affiliate organization of the US Composting Council (USCC). As a state-level affiliate, the NCCC promotes the programs and activities of the national USCC to advance composting and promote compost use; to enhance soils; and to provide economic and environmental benefits for our members and society.
