What is food scrap recycling?

Every year millions of tons of food waste is sent to our landfills. Food scrap recycling is the process of collecting our food scraps in a separate receptacle so that they can be processed into a nutrient-rich soil product called compost. We offer services to collect food scraps from you and ensure they are properly composted instead of ending up in the landfill where they cause problems for the environment.

Why compost your food scraps?

Food scrap recycling and composting is one of the easiest things an individual can do to help combat climate change and promote a sustainable future.

  • Help prevent climate change,

  • Reduce greenhouse gasses,

  • Improve water quality,

  • Improve soil quality,

How it works

  • Toss your food scraps in the container we provide.

  • A member of our team will empty the bin and provide a fresh liner.

  • We process the scraps and share some of the compost back for use in your garden.
