Commercial food scrap composting

San Francisco, long time metropolitan recycling leader in this country, let alone the globe recently passed a mandatory recycling ordinance. Residential and commercial building owners must sign up for recycling and composting services. San Francisco has already attained a 72% recycling rate and they’re going to go higher now – to 75%.

Essentially about one-third of landfilled material is recyclable. Tenants, both residential and commercial want to recycle, but the owners have been lagging.

Logistically, buildings have to supply three waste and recycling bins. One each for trash, recyclables and composting.
