Food Waste Collection Services

If you are looking to compost your food waste in a manner other than back yard composting, you may be interested in service providers who will collect and compost your food waste through pick-up services or drop-off locations.  

Keep in mind, food waste can be composted at Ohio EPA registered Class II compost facilities (Ohio EPA List of Registered Compost Facilities (PDF) ) or at a site that does not exceed 500 square feet.  Note: There are no OEPA registered Class II compost facilities in Summit County.

Below are a few sample questions to help you gather information on the options available so you can decided if the service is best for your food waste composting needs.
