MILORGANITE

MADE IN MILWAUKEE SINCE 1926

The bugs we use for cleaning wastewater are actually famous! When they're done doing their jobs in the water reclamation facilities, we dry them out and turn them into Milorganite®, a fertilizer trusted by lawn and gardening experts for more than 90 years. You can even see Milorganite® in the movie Caddyshack.

The production of Milorganite® is one of the nation’s oldest and world’s largest recycling efforts. We've safely recycled the nutrient-rich microbes into a goof-proof fertilizer that works wonders for lawns, gardens, flowers trees and shrubs. Milorganite® stands for "Milwaukee Organic Nitrogen".

Milorganite production has diverted 9.8 billion lbs. of waste from landfills.
