OUR Services

Using our state-of-the-art trucks, we haul organics and food waste free of hazardous materials and contaminants. We deliver to our composting site to produce all-natural compost and fertilizers. Our goal is to divert food waste from the landfill to create a better environment.

Food Waste Pickup

Not only do food scraps and organic wastes have large economic impacts in terms of disposal costs, they also have immediate environmental impacts. When food is disposed in the landfill it quickly rots and becomes a significant source of methane — a potent greenhouse gas with 21 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide. Consequently, landfills account for more than 20 percent of all methane emissions.

Recovering and recycling food waste diverts organic materials from landfills thus reducing these emissions. The use of recycled food waste as compost improves soil health and structure; increases drought resistance; and reduces the need for supplemental water, fertilizers, and pesticides.

Additionally, composting food scraps and organic waste improves sanitation, public safety, and health. Food waste dumped in standard trash cans and dumpsters can attract rodents and insects, as well as generate bad odors. Placing food scraps and organic waste in a closed, leak proof, durable, and reusable container, and having Food Recycling Solutions pick it up three times weekly for composting can significantly reduce, and even eliminate these problems.

Our Responsibilities:

  • provide all of the bins (64-gallon roll carts) necessary to collect the food scraps and organic waste. These bins will be clearly marked with “Food Waste Only” stickers.
  • provide compostable bags for the carts and will line the carts with new bags after every service.
  • provide year-round pick-up services three times per week, unless otherwise directed.
  • provide staff training and handouts detailing the approved materials and methods of collection.
  • provide special and one-time event service at individually negotiated rates.
  • provide detailed monthly invoices including collection weights for each site.

Your Responsibilities

  • Ensure that food scrap and organic waste carts will remain free from contamination.
  • While the use of compostable liners and bags will greatly assist in keeping the carts clean, you will ensure all food residuals are cleaned from the carts regularly.
  • Ensure carts are placed at the designated pick-up location.

Benefits

  • By composting food scraps and organic waste, your facility should be able to either reduce the size of trash compactors used or the frequency they are emptied which will result in a reduction of both county user fees and waste hauler fees.
  • Your facility may also be eligible for a tax write-off for engaging in food waste recycling.
