Smart Waste Management
The United States has a food waste problem. According to the US Department of Agriculture, organic & food waste fills 30% of the nation’s landfills and contributes to the excessive release of methane gas, which is harmful to our health, environment, and the ozone layer. In fact, nearly all of the food wasted in North Florida goes to landfills. Compost Jax helps businesses, landscapers, municipalities, farmers, ranchers and landowners, remove of their organic waste in a climate smart way.
