About Teegen Compost Services

Mark Teegen

Mark started composting in 1986 when public works never made it to pick up leaves on his parkway. He successfully composted the pile of leaves and has been hooked ever since. Mark has been in the Green Industry since 1994 and in 

Organics Recycling since 2014.
