Frequently Asked Questions – Food Waste
(Click here to learn more about the process.)
Why recycle food waste?
Answer: Good question! For one, food waste makes up nearly 30% of our landfills and contributes to climate change when it breaks down in the landfill and is converted to methane gas. Food waste can be composted and turned into a soil conditioner or fertilizer for agriculture. In the next year, we will be diverting food waste to an anaerobic digester where it will be converted into natural gas that can provide power for 40,000 people. Learn more about turning organics into energy.
What types of materials are NOT accepted in the food waste bin?
Answer: We understand that what can and can’t be composted can be confusing, which is why we provide helpful signage in our Resource Center for you to reference. Here is a list of the main materials that are not accepted in green waste containers:
Still unsure? – Please contact us for assistance, we’re happy to help!
Where does the food waste go?
Answer: We transport all food waste to the Wasatch Resource Recovery facility in North Salt Lake to be processed.
Can I modify my service later if I need to? (bin quantity + pickup frequency)
Answer: Of course! Just reach out to us and we will adjust your service level right away. There are no fees involved.
Does the Diversion Reporting & Monitoring cost extra?
Answer: Nope! – we provide these reports to every customer so that they can monitor their progress and share their diversion stats with colleagues and customers.
Can you service my location within a set time window?
Answer: Our Logistics Team works hard to ensure that we are operating our routes in the most efficient manner and with the fewest emissions possible. We route stops according to their geographical location primarily, but if there are days and times when your containers can’t be made accessible, we will do our best to accommodate your needs – no problem.
Do you offer internal service?
Answer: Yes! – If it is more convenient for your daily operations to have us come inside and pull the bins out to be serviced, we do offer internal service for just $5.50/bin per pickup.
How do I pay for services? When am I invoiced?
Answer: Service fees are due prior to the 1st day of each month for the services scheduled in the upcoming month. Monthly fees of $100-or-less are required to be paid via credit card. Monthly fees greater than $100 may be paid via credit card or check. (We ask that you please notify us of any billing concerns or disputes prior to the last day of the month in question.)
We are recycling newbies... Can you help us craft our recycling program?
Answer: Yes! – We provide free recycling systems process & design consulting services to our customers. Opening a new location? Looking to add a new service? – we’re here to help!
