Commercial Compost Program
Diverting food from the waste stream significantly reduces the global warming impact from landfills, as decomposing food waste is a major source of the greenhouse gas methane.Rates: A clean 35-gallon roll-cart is provided for $5.65 per month with a weekly pick-up. There is no deposit per roll-cart.
This program is also a big money saver for you: If you disposed of the same material as garbage, the cost would be $16.61 per month!
Please contact us for more information.

Additional Information
Food waste is the third largest component of generated waste by weight. Because of its low composting rate, it is the largest component of discarded waste by weight. The average person generates about 197 pounds of solid waste per year ("Measurement Standards and Reporting Guidelines," National Recycling Coalition, www.nrc-recycle.org).
