The Oklahoma Compost and Sustainability Association (OCASA) first started in 2015 as the Oklahoma Compost Conference planning committee, then became a non-profit in January 2021. Our goal continues to be to open discussions about how compost can benefit local communities, buisnesses and the environment. Our annual fall conference remains our premiere event, but we're expanding into other educational and advocacy roles as well!
