Why Should You Compost?


Composting transforms organic waste into valuable soil amendments. By participating in composting programs, businesses reduce methane emissions, conserve landfill space, and create nutrient-rich compost for agricultural and landscaping use.

Breaking Down the Composting Process


To understand the benefits of composting, it’s helpful to look at how the process works from start to finish. We follow a systematic approach that ensures materials are handled responsibly. Before processing, organic material is separated from contaminants and prepared for composting. The composting process then follows key stages:

  • Collection & Transport: Organics are moved from your facility to a processing site.
  • Material Preparation: Non-compostable contaminants are removed to ensure quality output.
  • Decomposition: Microorganisms break down organic matter in a controlled environment.
  • Curing: Compost matures, stabilizing nutrients and improving texture.
  • Distribution: Finished compost is supplied for agricultural, landscaping, or soil restoration projects.

Why Recycle Food Waste Byproducts?


Food waste make up a significant portion of commercial waste streams. Recycling them not only reduces disposal costs but also recovers resources that can be used in soil enrichment. Businesses that invest in organic waste diversion benefit from stronger sustainability credentials and reduced environmental impact. Recycling food waste is particularly effective for:

  • Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from decomposing organics in landfills
  • Supporting local agriculture through compost production
  • Meeting state or municipal waste reduction requirements
  • Enhancing corporate responsibility initiatives

Our process for recycling food waste is designed to maximize efficiency while maintaining high-quality compost output. We partner with processing facilities that use advanced composting and anaerobic digestion technologies to ensure every load meets strict environmental standards.
