If food waste comprises a significant portion of the waste stream at your school or business, you may want to consider collecting it separately from trash. We can help you set up a way to compost food scraps on-site or to have them transported to Green Mountain Compost.
Contact CSWD for free tools and lots of help in exploring how to set up a system that works best for your location.
