From Detroit: Food waste collection services are emerging nationwide to help reduce landfill waste. These services provide an alternative for people who cannot compost at home. Composting food scraps like coffee grounds and eggshells can significantly decrease the amount of waste sent to dumps, where it produces harmful greenhouse gases.

A company called Scrap Soils is one such service, and its CEO collects food scraps from homes and businesses. The scraps are then taken to a composting site.

Further information about these services and their impact on waste reduction is available from the source.
