The Mountain View Organic Waste Processing Facility in Oxnard,
continues to draw attention for its role in local Food Waste Recycling. Since its official grand opening in November of 2025, the facility has been recognized by local media and recycling industry publications for its technology, processing capabilities and importance to organic waste diversion.
The facility is operated by E.J. Harrison’s partners at Agromin. Agromin currently recycles 40 tons of food waste per day at the Mountain View facility and has the capacity to process as much as 300 tons per day.
The New Mountain View Facility
plays an important role in both commercial and residential food waste recycling. E.J. Harrison trucks that pick up food waste from commercial customers take that material directly to Mountain View. Residential food waste is first separated from other materials in organics carts at Gold Coast Recycling in Ventura, then transported to Mountain View for processing.
At the facility, food waste moves through advanced equipment and processes that remove nonfood material and prepare the organic material for beneficial uses. The finished material can support composting or energy production, helping reduce the amount of organic waste sent to landfills.
This matters because food waste in landfills produces methane, a climate-harming gas. Diverting food waste from landfills is a key part of California’s organic waste reduction goals and local sustainability efforts. For Ventura County residents, participating is straightforward: collect food scraps, bag them securely and place them in the organics waste cart.
The Attention Mountain View has Received
from recycling industry publications and local media reflects the importance of building systems that can manage food waste at scale. But the system still depends on daily participation from customers. Proper sorting at the cart helps keep trash, plastic and other contaminants out of the food waste stream.
As a Ventura County Trash Hauler, E.J. Harrison is proud to work with partners like Agromin and Gold Coast Recycling to support practical, local solutions for organic waste. Every properly sorted organics cart helps move food waste away from landfills and into a better recycling pathway.
