how it works

 

Total Organics Recycling makes food scrap composting easy and can get you on the path to zero waste!

 

We offer 64 or 35 gallon totes for food scrap collection and pick up the filled totes on scheduled days agreed upon with you. Your totes are dumped and rinsed on-site and then replaced.

 

By partnering with Total Organics Recycling, you can divert food waste from the landfill and potentially lower your current trash costs as well!

our process​

​

Total Organic Recycling collects organic material, then what? Once we pick your discarded organics, they are delivered to a St. Louis Composting commercial compost facility, where they are broken down into a nutrient-rich soil supplement in a process called composting. 

 

Compost is organic matter that has been broken down through aerobic decomposition into a dark, humus-rich material teeming with beneficial organisms – a critical component of a “complete” soil. Complete soil also contains key mineral factions (iron, nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium) that promote healthy plant growth and maturation.

​

Composting is nature’s way of recycling. For thousands of years, ecosystems have survived and thrived by self-producing compost from spent plant material. Compost contains essential nutrients and moisture that help plants grow by:

​

  • improving the structure, drainage, and water-holding capacity of soil

  • encouraging deep-rooting

  • helping to suppress plant disease and promotes healthier growth

  • reducing erosion

  • reduces waste and combats climate change through recycling outside of landfills
