Greetings!
We are doing research about starting a food waste collection business for residential and small businesses.
The structure of this service is simple.
- Receive a bucket/welcome packet.
- Put out the bucket weekly for pickup of food waste, including: Fruit, beans, bones, bread, coffee grounds, coffee filters, eggs, dairy, fish, grains, meat, paper cups, paper napkins, paper towels, tea bags, and vegetables.
- After we pick up your bucket and drop off a clean one, your food waste goes to a composting site. This keeps it out of the trash, landfills and, in the case of fats/oils, your drain.
This saves your food waste from having to go into the trash and helps it turn into something useful and better for the environment.
Since this business idea is in the very beginning stages, we welcome feedback or ideas.
Below are several questions to help inform us if a residential food waste collection program is of interest to the CNY area.
