What We Take

Food waste recycling reduces waste

Leftover food and food-soiled paper don’t belong in a landfill. Still-edible food can go to community feeding programs and inedible food scraps make great compost when mixed with yard trimmings.

WLSSD operates a year-round organics composting facility where food waste from businesses, institutions, and residents is turned into Garden Green® Compost, a high quality soil amendment. Nutrients from the food scraps are recycled to build healthy soil, grow more food, and help flowers and trees flourish instead of being wasted and buried in a landfill.

Food Waste Recycling For Residents

Food Waste Recycling for Businesses

Food Waste Recycling for Events

Events can send a lot of waste to the landfill. But with proper planning, they don’t have to! Borrow a waste-free event kit to make your next event more sustainable.
