Agricultural Recycling Services

Two directions, both ending in farm soil. Vegetative commercial food waste is collected weekly from produce markets, supermarkets, grocers, produce operations, and food producers across Harris County and Fort Bend County and Montgomery County, TX, and composted directly on partner farms. Separately, manure is moved from stables, ranches, and small livestock operations to farms that want it. Material must arrive source-separated or depackaged, never mixed with packaging or trash. The finished compost feeds the farmland it is made on.

Yes, in both directions. Manure is delivered to partner farms as a composting feedstock, and it is collected from stables, ranches, and small livestock operations that have more than they can use. Volume, access, storage, and route fit decide whether a specific load works, so it is quoted per job rather than from a rate card. See the manure composting page for how it composts and which regulatory tier it keeps a site in.

Not as a standing service. Crop residue is usually better handled where it lies, and for most farms the useful answer is composting on site rather than hauling material away and back. If you have a specific stream and a real volume, it is worth a conversation, but do not assume it is a service with a published rate.

Farms partner by hosting composting on their land. Delivered food waste and manure are sheet-composted in managed layers on the receiving parcel, and the finished compost stays on that farm. Every arrangement starts with a free site visit, booked by appointment, that settles access, drainage, setbacks, feedstock fit, and regulatory classification before anything is delivered.

Produce culls, trim, and overripe or unsold fruit and vegetables; Vegetative food material kept source-separated from packaging; Bulk dry goods such as flour, grain, and expired shelf-stable produce, depackaged; Clean wood chips and untreated woody material; Coffee grounds. Meat, bones, and dairy are all fine, because the on-farm process handles them. Not accepted: meat, bones, fish, and dead animal material; dairy; post-service plate scrapings and any back-of-house food waste; pan grease, fryer grease and oil, including grease-trap waste; paper (towels, napkins, filters); plastics, including "compostable" bioplastics.

For businesses whose food waste is collected (commercial only, no residential pickup), pricing is $10 per barrel with weekly drum exchange, a free waste audit, and a 1-week free trial. No contract. Manure collection is quoted per job. For farms interested in hosting composting, the site visit is free and terms are settled after it. Call +1 713-822-3398.
