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.
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
Moving food scraps in and finished compost out
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
Transported by the partner
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.
Transported by GoZERO
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
Transported by the partner
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.
Transported by GoZERO
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.
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.
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.
