Commercial Composting: Where Are Your Organics Really Going?
Recycling compostable material into nutrient rich soil is one the easiest and best ways to reduce our dependence on landfills, so choosing a hauling company that can guarantee proper disposal with a registered compost facility is paramount. If your compost company is profiting off the sales from collecting landfill waste, do they really have your best interest in making your organization more sustainable?
Before you sign a contract with someone else, here are some important questions you should ask your waste hauler:
Where will my organic waste be composted?
Find out specifically where your organics will be composted. If they can't provide a location, it's probably ending up in the landfill. Ask to visit the site and learn about their composting practices.
​
Do you provide educational materials or consultation on how to best handle the composting process?
​
​
​
What do you do to limit contamination with plastic or other non-biodegradable waste?
Plastic trash doesn't magically turn into rich soil. If your waste hauler doesn't give you specifics about what can and can't be composted or doesn't take steps to eliminate contamination, it's because they're sending your waste to a landfill where it doesn't matter.
​
How will I receive feedback on how we're doing?
Composting is an active process. Any composter who is legitimately composting your organics will provide feedback on what's in your bin. If your waste hauler never provides feedback, updates or resources for learning, it's because your waste isn't actually being composted.
