Feed the Earth is our campaign to bring creative solutions for food scrap collection to towns and cities. Food waste occurs in many places - homes, businesses, and institutions. Each require a customized approach. Learn about some of our partnerships below.
Drop Off Programs
Our transfer station programs offer residents of participating towns a centralized location for collecting food scraps for composting. These programs, often at transfer stations, are an effective way to make composting accessible to a lot of people.

Commercial District
Feed the Earth - Middletown is a food scrap collection initiative for businesses in the Downtown Sanitation District. The program, which is free to participants, involves outreach, signage, education and containers, as well as collection services. Every ton that is diverted improves the environment and saves the City of Middletown money on their disposal fees. To see press and a list of participating restaurants, click here.
