Our Services

Food Waste Collection Services

Don’t let your food scraps go to waste! We make it easy for anyone to compost without all the hassle. We offer a wide range of convenient organics collection services for homes and larger organizations within Knoxville and surrounding areas. 

Residential Curbside

We believe that every household can contribute to a greener future, which is why we provide our Residential Members with an easy and hassle-free way to compost their food scraps. Similar to a trash service, we collect food scraps on a regular basis (either weekly or bi-weekly). Receive an annual share of finished compost or donate your share to a local organization.

Commercial Collections

Businesses, restaurants, and other organizations can generate a significant amount of food waste. We offer tailored solutions for our Commercial Members to efficiently manage their waste and reduce their carbon footprint. Our members have the option to be promoted through our website, social media, and newsletter.

Event Composting

Hosting an event, large or small, presents an opportunity to showcase your commitment to sustainability. Our Event Services provide comprehensive composting solutions to ensure that food waste at your event doesn’t end up in landfills. We customize your plan to perfectly fit the needs of your event whether you’re hosting an exclusive party or a multiday festival.

Why Compost?

Benefits of Composting

It’s no mystery that landfills are filling up and will continue to do so unless we take action. About 30% of the average household waste can be composted (and another 30% can be recycled). By composting and recycling, you can reduce your landfill waste by about 60%.

Almost no landfills are designed to properly handle organic waste like food scraps and yard trimmings. When these materials go into a landfill, they decompose in an anaerobic environment (without oxygen) which produces Methane, a Greenhouse Gas that is 4x worse than Carbon Dioxide. 

Compost helps soil retain moisture by increasing organic matter, improving soil structure, reducing compaction, and balancing nutrient content. Its rich organic composition acts like a sponge, absorbing and holding water for plant roots. The enhanced soil structure, with increased pore spaces, allows better water penetration and reduces runoff. Compost also promotes deeper root growth, making plants more resilient during dry periods, and helps prevent soil erosion, preserving valuable topsoil and nutrients.

For growth, plants need macronutrients like Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (NPK). But plants also take up other micronutrients from the soil like vitamins and nutrients that humans need to be healthy. Many large crops use synthetic NPK fertilizers to grow crops, but neglect to add micronutrients back to the soil. Luckily, compost takes the leftover nutrients from our food and yard waste and recycles them back into the soil to be used over and over again.
