THE NEW FACE OF WASTE
OPPORTUNITY HIDDEN IN A LANDFILL PROBLEM

IN 2034, RHODE ISLAND'S ONLY LANDFILL IS ESTIMATED TO REACH FULL CAPACITY. NEARLY ONE-THIRD OF WHAT RHODE ISLANDERS CURRENTLY THROW AWAY IS COMPOSTABLE ORGANIC MATERIAL.

That's where we come in. Much of the waste in the landfills is organic material that could be better used to make high-quality compost or renewable energy. To date, we’ve diverted nearly 35,000 tons of  organic waste from Rhode Island's only landfill and put that waste to better use.
