Composting Restaurant Food Waste


Composting can be a great way to reduce a large amount of waste, cut waste hauling fees and potentially help local farmers or gardeners. Most composting systems recommend composting only vegetable trimming and to avoid dairy products, meat, fish and oils. Table scraps are also usually not accepted because of issues of bacteria, the unwanted meats, dairy etc. and also issues of foreign objects like straws getting in with the organic material.
The easiest option for composting is using a local waste collector's composting services. These systems simply involve source separating organic material from garbage in your facility as you would recyclables. Even with the cost of compost collection, this can greatly reduce your waste hauling costs. Unfortunately, commercial composting facilities are few and far between, yet quietly developing around the country. Check with your local waste hauler for these services and what they will accept in the organic materials collection. Some facilities are designed to compost meats, dairy, fish and oil while others are not.
