Food Waste Recycling

food waste recyclingWaste from restaurants and other food service establishments is 75% or more organic materials and can be composted. Restaurants who participate in A1 Organics food waste recycling program place food and other organic waste in specially marked bins located throughout the kitchen and food prep areas. A1 Organics then picks up the food waste totes on a regular basis and takes them to one of our permitted facilities for recycling. The organic materials we collect are remanufactured into high quality composts and mulches which are used in landscaping.

Composting

compostingDuring the summer months in particular, yard waste and other organic waste can consume from 40% to 60% of the available landfill space. With landfill space diminishing and new landfills becoming harder and harder to permit, alternatives become much more important. Composting is one such alternative that works to keep organic waste out of the landfill while providing a useful alternative. 

Any non-hazardous, non-toxic organic product can, in most cases, be composted. A1 Organics has extensive experience composting the following materials:

  • Biosolids
  • Brewers Waste 
  • Dairy & Feedlot Manure
  • Food Waste 
  • Garden Waste 
  • Grass
  • Hog Manure
  • Horse Manure
  • Animal Mortalities
  • Leaves
  • Packaging Plant By-Products
  • Shrubs 
  • Sod 
  • Tree Trimmings
  • Turkey Manure 
  • Weeds
 

Custom Composting and Custom Mixes

A1 Organics also provided custom composting operations for a host of governmental agencies and corporate clients.

Different composts have different attributes. While all composts are beneficial to plant growth, not all composts have the same characteristics. Given the variety of different raw organic materials, A1 Organics can custom blend compost to meet the customer’s specific needs. A1 Organics will work with nurseries, landscape architects, and landscapers to come up with a blend of compost that meets their specific needs.

 

Grinding and Custom Services

A1 Organics offers commercial grinding and waste reduction services to its clients. A1 owns two Morbark 1300 series tub grinders that are mobile and can be taken to individual client sites. These grinders have an 800-1000 horsepower Caterpillar engine, self-contained grapple loader, and a 13-foot diameter tub. Depending on the size of material being ground, the Morbark can grind between 400 to 1200 cubic yards per hour or more. Grinding normally results in volume reductions of 40% to 80%. Volumes of raw organic materials can be ground quickly, making the operations very cost competitive. The reduction of volume translates into reduced transportation costs. Finally, the ground material can either be used as mulch or it can be composted.

 

Pilot Studies

A1 Organics offers consulting services that include operation, management, and reporting on pilot composting studies involving many forms of non-hazardous organic material. 

Corporate, industrial, and municipal clients utilize pilot studies prior to making major economic commitments to recycling their organic wastes. A1 Organics provides fully permitted sites and expertise that provide customers a comprehensive and risk free way to explore the challenges that specific organic materials may present, and comprehensive analysis of costs and benefits without the expense and hassle of setting up or permitting a site.

  

Marketing Services

A1 Organics has spent over 30 years developing markets for its products, and has established and maintained a solid reputation for service and quality. This has provided an avenue that has allowed them to work with both municipal and private enterprises in marketing their products. 

A1 ground and composted the green waste from the City of Loveland. This compost was bagged under the name “Loveland’s Own” and marketed through various landscaping suppliers, grocery stores, and hardware stores in Loveland.
