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 composted over ten thousand pounds of food scraps and ten(s) of thousands of pounds of yard trimmings! Mark has been in the Green Industry since 1994 and has been a full time Organics Recycler since 2014.
Community Garden composting
Trimmings are taken from your garden bin, shredded and returned to an available bin to complete the composting process.

"We have employed Mark’s service for the last 3 years to shred our end of season bulky vines, sunflower stalks, and tomato plants, leaving us with lovely shredded material that kickstarts our composting over winter". Myra
