1 Stop Landscape Supply & Yard Waste
3207 71st Ave E, Sarasota, Florida, United States

In the early 2000s, businesses and residents had very limited options for recycling green waste and purchasing locally made compost, mulch, and soil. Green waste, an easily compostable and reusable resource, was cluttering up landfills. Large corporations were taking green waste, but not returning it to the local ecosystem or community. While, at the same time, our community was becoming aware that a renewable resource was being wasted. John Desrosiers saw this as a problem and set out to create the quintessential green waste recycling facility.

In his vision, John saw a facility where local businesses and residential customers could save time and money, while also helping to save the planet and preserve our delicate ecosystem. Not only would this facility help to save space at the dump, but it could recycle green waste and create natural, microorganism-rich soils, composts, and mulches. These recycled products would then allow plants to flourish and make them less susceptible to disease, all without the same potential harm caused by chemical fertilizers. Thus, in 2002, 1 Stop Landscape Supply & Yard Waste Recycling Facility was born.
