About Us
Despite the preponderance of commercial food waste and yard waste, organic waste is incredibly valuable. Leftover food resources and yard trimmings can be recycled into compost, which serves to improve soil quality and limit soil erosion.
The environmental benefits of recycling commercial organic waste are many. When restauranteurs properly source separate organics for the composting process, they divert further waste from filling landfills helping to fight climate change. Restaurants that participate in composting also reduce waste hauling fees.
Overall, their efforts to recycle food waste are rewarded with making a positive environmental impact while reducing waste disposal fees. Many types of common commercial food waste can be successfully composted. Food scraps top the list. Supermarket and grocery store fruit and vegetable waste, for example, can be readily composted. Beverage products, such as coffee grinds and tea bags, may also be recycled via composting.
The benefits of trash recycling are numerous and include:
Conservation of Natural Resources:
Recycling reduces the need for new raw materials and conserves natural resources, such as trees for paper production and oil for plastic production.
Reduction of Landfill Waste:
By recycling food scraps and organic waste, the amount of waste that goes into landfills is reduced, which helps to conserve space and reduce environmental pollution.
Energy Savings:
Composting locally often requires less energy than transporting waste materials via diesel trucks, leading to energy savings and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Jobs Creation:
The recycling industry creates jobs in the collection, processing, and repurposing of waste materials.
Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions:
Recycling helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the energy needed to produce new materials and by diverting waste from landfills where it can produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
Economic Benefits:
The recycling industry generates revenue and contributes to local economies. Additionally, recycling can also reduce the cost of waste disposal.
Overall, trash recycling is an important way to reduce waste, conserve resources, protect the environment, and support economic development.
