Why Choose Food Waste Recycling in Holladay?
Food waste makes up nearly 30% of landfill content and creates harmful methane gas when it decomposes. Our convenient curbside collection service transforms your kitchen scraps into clean energy and nutrient-rich fertilizer. This simple change to your routine delivers measurable environmental benefits. Our service helps you:
Align your actions with your environmental values
Reduce your household carbon footprint
Support local green jobs and sustainable infrastructure
Set an example for your neighbors and future generations
Make Holladay a cleaner, more sustainable place
Environmental Benefits of Food Waste Recycling
Recycling your food waste has multiple benefits:
Reduces Greenhouse Gas Emissions
When food decomposes in landfills, it produces methane—a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. We capture this gas and turn it into clean energy.
Generates Renewable
Energy
The biogas from your food waste powers homes and businesses with clean energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
Extends Landfill
Lifespan
By diverting food waste, we extend the life of local landfills and reduce the need for new waste disposal sites in our community.
Creates Valuable
Fertilizer
The nutrient-rich byproduct of the digestion process provides local farms with sustainable fertilizer, improving soil health and supporting local agriculture.
Completes the
Food Cycle
Food waste recycling creates a closed-loop system where food scraps help grow new food through renewable energy and fertilizer production.
Professional Composting
Service
Our food waste composting service processes materials that can’t go in home compost bins, including meat, bones, and dairy, creating a more complete solution.

Q: Is there a contract? - Can I cancel later?
A: No contract – the service is month-to-month, so you can cancel any time in your account.
Q: Can I use my own bucket?
A: No – to maintain consistency and to avoid confusion, you will need to use the 5-gallon bucket provided.
Q: How do I increase from a bucket to a cart?
A: Is the bucket too small? – No problem! Please contact us to swap it out for the larger 16-gallon purple cart: you will simply need to pay $20.00, which is the difference between the activation fee you initially paid for the bucket ($25) and the activation fee required for the cart ($45).
