If I donate my soil to conservation efforts, how will it be used?

Human composting creates approximately one cubic yard of soil per body that weighs from 500 pounds to over 1,000 pounds. Recompose offers clients the option to pick up the soil, donate the soil through the Recompose Land Program, or a combination of both.

Through the Land Program, Recompose partners with nonprofit conservation organizations to protect and regenerate ecosystems through conservation, rewilding, and other restoration practices. These Land Partners receive soil donated from Recompose clients to use in projects that benefit the land they steward.

Recompose and our Land Partners share a common interest in connecting the human experience with the natural environment, and recognize the use of soil from human composting as a way to strengthen this connection.
