California’s Compost Mandate Just Got Real
California is in a race against time. With SB 1383 compliance requiring a 75% reduction in organic waste disposal and ambitious compost procurement targets by 2025, municipalities across the state are under mounting pressure to deliver. Yet despite progress, contamination, transport costs, and insufficient infrastructure are slowing the transition from waste to resource.
Enter the Dual Force Vibratory Screening Bucket — a compact, on-site compost screening attachment that strips contaminants out of organic material before it ever leaves the collection yard. The result? Cleaner compost, lower costs, and a smoother path to SB 1383 compliance.
The High Cost of Contaminated Compost
When organic material isn’t screened properly, the entire system breaks down:
- Rejected Compost Loads: Contaminants like plastic, rocks, and trash render compost unusable.
- Regulatory Fines: Cities that fall short of diversion goals face non-compliance penalties.
- Wasted Transport Dollars: Hauling dirty material to centralized sites only to discard it increases fuel and labor costs.
- Missed Procurement Targets: Without clean, processable organics, municipalities can’t meet state-mandated compost purchase requirements.
Every contaminated load represents not just a logistical setback—but a missed opportunity to close the waste loop.
Meet the Screening Solution Built for SB 1383
The Dual Force Screening Bucket is purpose-built for the moment California is facing. Designed as a hydraulic vibratory attachment, it mounts directly to skid steers, transforming them into mobile, high-efficiency on-site compost screening machines.
Key benefits include:
- No fuel, no external power — runs off the carrier’s existing hydraulics.
- Customizable screens for yard waste, food scraps, soil, and even wet or sticky materials.
- Compact and mobile — ideal for public works yards, transfer stations, or curbside collection points.
- Mounts to existing equipment.
With Dual Force, operators can screen and sort right where material is collected—eliminating costly steps and preventing contamination from traveling downstream.
Chula Vista and the Future of Organics Management
At Republic Services’ Otay Compost Facility in Chula Vista, tons of organic waste are processed daily through a state-of-the-art, solar-powered operation. Here, advanced systems like the “Thor” de-packager remove packaging from food waste, and compost is later screened to a consistent, saleable grade.
But imagine applying that same level of quality control one step earlier—right at the curb or yard.
With the Dual Force Screening Bucket, cities can pre-screen organics on-site, removing non-compostable materials before sending the material to regional processors. That means fewer rejections, better compost quality, and less strain on large-scale facilities. It’s not just about doing more—it’s about doing smarter.
Closing the Loop: A Circular Waste Economy
California isn’t simply trying to divert waste—it’s working to build a circular economy where organic material is recovered, composted, and returned to the soil as a local resource.
But that loop only works if the feedstock is clean. Contaminated compost halts the cycle, costing cities time, money, and momentum. On-site compost screening is the key to unlocking the full value of the organic waste stream.
The Dual Force Screening Bucket enables that circular process by ensuring clean input, consistent output, and streamlined logistics—delivered from the back of a compact loader.
Ready to Help California Hit the Mark?
The Dual Force Vibratory Screening Bucket isn’t just another piece of equipment. It’s a strategic tool for public works directors, compost facility managers, contractors, and landscape suppliers who need to:
- Book a demo to see how it performs screening organics on-site
- Request a quote customized to your workflow and equipment
- Save money and meet mandates—with American-built efficiency
