Services

Building composting systems that work.

GoZERO provides the infrastructure, education, and operational support needed to keep food scraps out of landfills and turn them into a valuable resource.

Our services are designed to support communities, businesses, institutions, municipalities, and partner organizations at every stage of the composting process — from learning and collection to processing, distribution, and long-term program development.

GoZERO education workshop — composting and food waste training

Education Services

GoZERO Institute

Through the GoZERO Institute, we provide education, training, and resources for individuals and organizations looking to better understand composting, food waste reduction, and circular resource systems.

Our education services help communities build knowledge, confidence, and practical skills around composting and sustainable organics management.

Education services may include:

  • Composting education
  • Food waste reduction training
  • Workshops and community programming
  • Organizational training
  • Technical guidance and resources

Collection & Distribution

GoZERO manages the movement of material in two directions: food scraps arriving to be composted, and finished compost leaving for productive use. In each direction, material can be transported to and from our site either by the partner or by GoZERO.

Food Scraps — Inbound

Reception Services

GoZERO accepts food scraps delivered to our facility by approved partners and programs.

Reception is designed for organizations, haulers, institutions, and communities that need a responsible destination for collected food scraps and prefer to manage transportation themselves.

Collection Services

GoZERO collects food scraps directly from households, businesses, and institutions on a regular schedule and transports them to our facility for processing.

Our collection service provides reliable, route-based food waste pickup designed to be practical, accessible, and scalable.

Distribution Services — Finished Compost Outbound

Partner Pickup

Partners collect finished compost directly from our site — in many cases sending their own trucks, which we load for transport and use elsewhere.

GoZERO Delivery

GoZERO transports finished compost from our facility to farms, landscapers, community projects, and soil-building initiatives that put it back to productive use.

Building and Sustaining Systems

Beyond day-to-day operations, GoZERO helps partners stand up new composting capacity and keep it running over the long term.

GoZERO development services — planning and expanding composting programs

Development Services

Helping composting systems grow

GoZERO provides development support for organizations and communities looking to build, improve, or expand composting operations.

We bring operational, legal, financial, and strategic capabilities to bear so that composting programs are built on a stronger foundation.

Development services may support planning, compliance, business structure, operational design, partnership development, and long-term sustainability.

GoZERO enablement services — supporting partner organizations with infrastructure and systems

Enablement Services

Providing the back end so others can do the work

GoZERO helps enable other organizations by providing the systems, support, and infrastructure they need to operate effectively.

Similar to how many nonprofit networks function, our enablement services allow partners to focus on their mission while GoZERO helps provide the operational back end.

This may include administrative support, program infrastructure, compliance support, systems development, strategic guidance, or shared-service support.

A full-service composting partner

GoZERO is more than a collection service. We are building a composting ecosystem.

From education and collection to reception, distribution, development, and enablement, our work supports the people and systems needed to make food scrap diversion successful at scale.
