Commercial Compost Collection Program

Many restaurants are composting over 75% of their waste! With up to 75% discounts off your garbage bill for recycling and composting, you WILL lower your garbage costs by recycling and composting more. Customers are provided with either 32 or 64-gallon bright green, leak proof bins on wheels. We provide free multi-lingual training to staff and easy to follow signs and posters.

Contact us to change the size of any of your carts or to start service.
