Food Waste
Food waste comes in many forms. Post-consumer waste is produced from restaurants, hospitality and other institutional food services. Pre-consumer waste is produced by food retailers, food manufacturers and other corporate processing facilities. Each requires a unique strategy to support responsible disposal, and CompostUSA has a custom solution to help all food waste producers.
Biosolids
Generated by wastewater treatment facilities, biosolids are a nutrient-rich organic material. CompostUSA facilities follow an EPA-approved composting process that combines biosolids with yard waste and other organics to yield a Class AA/EQ compost that meets USCC STA certification. This solution reduces greenhouse gases, sequesters carbon, and replenishes the soil. Partnering with CompostUSA offers an alternative to landfill disposition and increasingly restrictive land application.
Yard and Landscape Waste
Yard and landscape waste, typically a mix of leaves, branches, grass clippings and other landscape debris, have a very high carbon content. Disposing this material in a landfill or burning on site only releases this carbon back into the atmosphere as harmful greenhouse gases. CompostUSA transforms these green waste streams into compost, recovering that carbon and returning it back to the soil. Bringing this material to us can earn your Florida Recycling Credits.
Storm Debris
Severe weather and the inevitable cleanup of organic debris is part of life in the Southeastern United States. CompostUSA operates a network of tipping locations that are permitted by the FDEP to receive large volumes of clean storm debris that has been collected and reduced by FEMA contractors. We can make arrangements in advance of storm season to provide a seamless solution for a prompt response.
Vegetative Waste
Our agriculturally abundant region produces massive amounts of vegetative waste. This can include corn stalks, sugar cane bagasse or citrus pulp. Working with CompostUSA, producers can ensure these materials are responsibly removed and reintroduced as compost to improve soil health.
