Our food waste recycling program helps businesses efficiently meet sustainability targets and advance zero-waste goals through a streamlined composting process.

Steps to Success

SMART Recycling makes the transition to food waste recycling smooth and effective, so your team can divert more organic materials from landfills and begin a long-term waste diversion strategy. Our program includes the following:

Implementation and Training

We provide free initial on-site training focused on compostable materials, contamination prevention, and best practices for cart use and maintenance. Follow up training is available on request.

SMART Service

SMART Recycling follows consistent service standards for food waste solutions, ensuring reliable pickup, clean carts, and efficient organic waste collection across all customer locations.

Organics Separation Strategy

We conduct a site assessment and waste audit to recommend optimal compost bin set up, cart placement, and collection frequency, ensuring that your organics recycling program runs efficiently.

Compost Facility

We partner with local composting facilities to transform your food scraps into organic, nutrient-rich compost that is ideal for organic farms, gardens, and soil restoration. This closed-loop solution supports local composting infrastructure and reduces landfill impact.

SMART Carts

Custom designed SMART Carts are built for efficient handling of up to 300 pounds of wet organic waste. Equipped with lock-seal lids and caster wheels, they improve workplace safety and support clean, efficient transport.

Liners are optional, as some customers prefer the added convenience while others prioritize cost savings and reduced material use.

SMART Service Standards

SMART partners share a commitment to reducing food waste and advancing a more sustainable, less wasteful world. Many have adopted zero waste initiatives and integrated composting into their broader waste management strategies. To support these mission-driven efforts, we developed consistent service standards that help commercial clients succeed in their food waste recycling programs.
