We created Green Shoots to bridge the service gap between our community and responsible food waste disposal. We offer convenient compost pickup to both residents and businesses with several plan options to meet your unique needs. But why compost? Did you know the effect of methane on our environment is 25 times greater than that of carbon dioxide? Landfills are the 3rd largest source of human-related methane emissions in the United States and in 2018, food products made up nearly 25% of landfill waste. By adding oxygen into the decomposition process, composting significantly reduces - and can even entirely eliminate - methane emissions!
