Commercial Food Waste Collection Program
Orange County Solid Waste Management provides a commercial food collection program for Orange County businesses to support Orange County’s solid waste goals. Eligible businesses can join the program and receive regular cost-free curbside collection of organic waste.
Diverting food waste from a business’s trash stream can decrease trash hauling fees. Participating businesses will also receive a Food Waste Diversion Star window decal to represent their commitment to helping the local environment and community.
Email recycling@orangecountync.gov with questions and information on how to join the program.
