The Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle has operated the nation’s most comprehensive zoo manure composting program for over 40 years, composting around 1,000 tons of animal waste and bedding annually. Their aerated static pile system efficiently processes waste, making their Zoo Doo compost highly sought after by gardeners. The program serves as a model for small-scale and urban composting with a strong return on investment and low costs. In this presentation, Liv Johansson will discuss the program’s innovation, marketing success, operations, and community engagement, highlighting the system’s efficiency, low odor, and urban-friendly design.
