- Atlas Organics: Atlas Organics operates commercial food-waste collection and composting programs regionally in the U.S., mirroring the commercial organics recycling and processing side of Soilutions' business. Comparable in scale and focus on B2B diversion services.
- Cedar Grove: Cedar Grove is a Washington-state regional compost producer serving residential and commercial customers with bulk compost, mulch, and soils — the same Soilutions product mix and customer types, distributed through pickup, delivery, and full-service channels.
