Organic Waste
Transform food, campus green waste, and other organic materials into nutrient-rich compost.
Follow nature’s lead and return organic products from your cafeterias and other food service areas, dorms, and grounds to the earth. At Waste Management, we can help you make best use of this naturally efficient disposal alternative for the benefit of your campus. By recycling your food and other organic waste with Waste Management, you can:
- Raise your recycling rates
- Increase diversion rates
- Use a cost-effective, environmentally friendly disposal option
- Foster a green image among your current and prospective students and faculty
Starting with an initial site visit, our sustainability consultants will work with your staff to ensure step-by-step program success. We provide the necessary infrastructure, including specifically designed Waste Management containers and trucks, as well as the training and support necessary to ensure a successful program.
We then transport your food and other organic waste materials to a specialized facility where it will be turned into compost and other soil amendments, energy, or other products.
