organic waste hauling

The planet dramatically changed when the amount of trash generated worldwide began to spike. Since then we’ve made efforts, both big and small scale, to reduce our waste through recycling and organic waste diversion. While great strides have been made in recent years through community recycling programs, it is only within the last few years the focus on organic waste reclamation has gained attention.

​

As it turns out, the solution has been right in front of us for some time, give our organic waste a second life through composting. Not only do we end up gaining beneficial material for our gardens, but we divert material from the waste stream and reduce our greenhouse emissions in the process. It's a win-win!

 

The ultimate goal is to reuse waste, not to just dump it. To do this, we need organic waste management. Total Organics Recycling is dedicated to getting as much of your organic waste processed and utilizing it to make compost, where it can be used to grow food and contribute to the natural cycle, helping the environment in the process.

​

Our composting containers can be found all over the city of St. Louis, from schools to concert venues. We accept organic waste from non-residential sources and move it away in collection trucks, honoring our waste as a resource to be maximized, not disposed of.  The power of the composting effects can’t be overstated.  The total annual waste is over 260 million tons, and of that, 40 million tons of material is organic waste that could be recycled.
