THE BASICS OF ORGANIC WASTE DIVERSION — AND WHY IT PAYS OFF

Organic waste — food scraps, garden refuse, agricultural byproducts — makes up a significant share of what typically ends up in landfill. Diverting it into composting streams reduces methane emissions at the landfill and produces a usable end product instead of buried waste.

The process starts with source separation: keeping organic material out of the general waste stream from the point of collection. From there it moves through controlled composting, where temperature, moisture, and turning frequency are managed to break the material down into stable, agricultural-grade compost.

Our partnership with Bokashi Bran strengthens this pipeline, giving us a reliable route from collected organic waste to a product that goes back into the ground rather than staying buried in it.
