Compost Service

RESTAURANT COMPOSTING:

Pre-consumer food waste is currently a huge problem for the New Orleans restaurant industry. NOLA Green Roots’ Compost Service helps solve this problem by collecting food scraps (such as vegetable peels, fruit tops and cores, coffee grounds, and other organic materials) from local restaurants. We use these scraps to build compost: a rich soil that provides much-needed nutrients to the fresh, pesticide-free fruits, vegetables, herbs and mushrooms grown in our network of community gardens.  NOLA Green Roots distributes this produce throughout the community via our membership program and online store. Our Compost Service is affordable and convenient! For $75, your restaurant sponsors a compost can, which your staff uses to collect pre-consumer food scraps. Then give us a call and we’ll pick up your can, empty it, clean it, and return it to your restaurant. The pick-up service is just $50 a month.
