Commercial Food Waste Recycling in Houston

Yes. Composting is the most direct form of food waste recycling. Instead of hauling food scraps to a landfill, OnFarmCompost collects them from Houston businesses in gasket-sealed drums and recycles them into compost on local Texas farms, where the finished soil stays on the land instead of going to an incinerator or landfill.

All food scraps: all food scraps: fruit, vegetables, meat, bones, dairy; post-service plate scrapings when kept source-separated from packaging and serviceware; coffee grounds; small amounts of pan grease (not fryer oil). Not accepted: paper (towels, napkins, filters); plastics, including "compostable" bioplastics; fryer grease and oil, including grease-trap waste.

OnFarmCompost charges $10 per barrel with weekly drum exchange, a free waste audit, and a 1-week free trial. No contract. Recycling food waste also cuts the wet weight in your dumpster, which can reduce your regular trash-hauling frequency and cost.

Disposal sends food waste to a landfill, where it rots without oxygen and produces methane. Recycling it through composting turns the same material into soil. For a business, the day-to-day routine is identical: fill a bin, we exchange it weekly. The waste becomes farmland soil instead of landfill methane, and you get a monthly diversion report with real weighed numbers.
