It’s used by farmers for certified organic production and many residents in the area for vegetable gardens.

How does the Food waste collection work?
If your business wants to be more sustainable and start recycling food scraps, you can sign up today and for a small fee, we provide 64-gallon carts, liners, we train you and your staff and we pick up food waste from your business. We can create a pick-up schedule that fits your needs and help you reduce landfill space, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Do you accept metal or wood from decks, fences, pallets or 2 x4s?
We cannot process treated wood, as it contains nails and chemicals that prevent a proper breakdown process. We do not accept any material that isn’t compostable including plastic, metal, and glass.
