Food Waste Collection for Businesses
Landfill Diversion: Our Mission
At Little Buddies, landfill diversion is at the heart of what we do. Organic matter like food and green waste, when sent to landfills, decomposes anaerobically (without oxygen), producing potent greenhouse gases such as methane. By keeping these materials out of landfills, we not only reduce harmful emissions but also transform waste into valuable resources.
Our Process: Giving Waste a Second Life
We take pride in our ability to repurpose food, paper, and other organic wastes into nutrient-rich soil conditioners. These products are perfect for enhancing soil health, promoting plant growth, and supporting sustainable agriculture.
Who We Serve
We cater to a diverse range of businesses, including cafes, restaurants, offices, factories and breweries. Whether you're a small cafe or a large office building, we make it easy to dispose of food waste, green waste, and other organic materials in an eco-friendly manner.
Collection
We make it super-easy for businesses including cafes, restaurants, offices and breweries to dispose of food waste, green waste, and other organic waste in a cleaner, earth-friendlier way.
Waste Carriers
If you're a waste carrier or transport company looking to divert organic waste from landfills, we offer partnerships to explore alternative destinations for food and organic waste. Join us in making a positive impact on the environment!
What waste can Little Buddies process?
