Grocery Recycling Program: High-Quality Compost, Powered by Food Waste
Our Grocery Recycling Program diverts millions of pounds of food waste from landfills each year. This program allows us to recover organic material that would otherwise wind up in a landfill and emit methane—a potent greenhouse gas—and instead transform it into nutrient-rich compost, just at Nature intended.
Food waste is one of the most nutrient-dense organic materials available, containing essential nutrients, moisture, and organic matter that enhance microbial activity in the soil. By using food waste as a key input, our compost promotes faster plant growth, better water retention, improved soil structure, and a thriving soil microbiome.
While we use advanced mechanical separation technology to remove any residual food packaging before composting, trace amounts (1% or less) of produce stickers or food packaging fragments may end up in the final product.

Quality is Our Top Priority
Soilutions utilizes an aerated windrow pile system to create our compost. The process starts by combining ideal ratios of carbon and nitrogen inputs, which for Soilutions includes millions of pounds of food waste from grocery stores, green chile peels and stems from Bueno Foods, christmas trees from Just Sprinklers, and pulverized paper from Sandia National Labs, among many others. These inputs are combined using a formula for ratios and then spread into windrows, which are long narrow piles sized around 250'x30'.
The windrows are turned at frequent intervals over a period of months to introduce oxygen while the microorganisms (beneficial bacteria and fungi) within the pile work magic to transform the inputs into compost. We take temperatures multiple times per week and use microscopes to inspect biology.
Once the compost process is complete after several turns, the piles are then moved to a curing stage for another period, which provides for further proliferation of beneficial fungus and bacteria populations. Finally, it is screened to 1/2 inch and determined ready to for your garden!
Our Commitment to Sustainability
By integrating food waste into our composting process, we not only produce a superior product but also contribute to a more sustainable and resilient local environment. Our approach reduces landfill waste, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and supports healthy soil and plants.
