Shinnecock composting
Prepared for Peter Moon | O2Compost · Research checked 4 November 2026
A funded composting project that fits O2Compost
The Shinnecock Indian Nation’s EPA-selected program includes composting equipment and staff training—two needs O2Compost can address together. That creates a concrete opening to introduce your ASP design, equipment and operator support. The first move is to find out what remains available before shaping a proposal. [1, 4]
Shinnecock Enhancement of Recycling and Composting Initiative (SERCI)
Owner: Shinnecock Indian Nation · Long Island, New York
WHAT YOU COULD SELL
ASP design, equipment and operator training.
NEXT MILESTONE
Equipment scope and buying route; date not published. [8]
Why it fits
01 EPA names composting equipment and staff safety/operations training. O2Compost combines aeration equipment, design drawings and operator support—a direct scope match, subject to sizing and purchasing access. [1, 4]
02 The program collects organics and food waste from Tribal homes and offices. Establish weekly volumes, contamination and bulking supply before choosing a community-scale ASP configuration. [7]
03 O2Compost’s pilot service evaluates ASP feasibility, operating procedures and finished compost. Offer a pilot only if the Nation still needs to test its process or operating model. [5]
Your first move

Ask: Are SERCI’s equipment and training already committed? If not, would an ASP concept and operator-training plan be useful, and who handles purchasing?
From insight to action
Where your offer fits
Compost equipment [1]
Your contribution: Right-sized ASP design and aeration package.
Next step: Confirm feedstock, peak volume, bulking, power and site before sizing.
Staff training [1]
Your contribution: Startup instruction, operating procedures and support. [4]
Next step: Identify operators, available hours and accepted training delivery.
Compost outlets [1]
Your contribution: Pilot evaluation of finished compost and intended uses. [5]

EPA’s fact sheet lists $765,299; July announcements use $750,000. Both concern the whole program, including other infrastructure. O2Compost’s equipment allowance and contract value are not established. [1, 2, 6, 7]
