Office food waste composting collection service across Texas.

With simple, flexible plans and in-depth reporting, Moonshot Compost is helping businesses in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and Waco deal with food waste in a better way.

If your office has an eatery, we can guide you step-by-step toward a more sustainable place of work.

Did you know office buildings generated over 4 million tons of food waste in 2019, according to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates? This was more than hotels, sports venues, nursing homes, military installations, correctional facilities, colleges and universities, and K-12 schools combined. 

Unfortunately, only 5% of that waste was composted, with millions of tons winding up in landfills to rot and produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas. 

Moonshot is on a mission to divert all that food waste from business offices, including unused food and raw material scraps from cafeterias and kitchens, expired food from vending machines and break rooms, and surplus food from meetings and special events.

We collect and transport your food waste to composting facilities to be turned into a beneficial agricultural product. Together, we can lead the way in changing how our society handles waste while giving back to our communities.

Moonshot’s office composting service: Turning waste into opportunity.

  • Sustainable waste management: Offices can produce significant amounts of food waste from their cafeterias and kitchens. Composting is a simple, organized way to handle organic waste in a way that benefits the environment, rather than detracts.

  • A clean workspace: Moonshot’s airtight bins and regular pickups prevent odors and pests, keeping office environments fresh and professional.

  • Higher employee morale: Composting initiatives have the potential to foster a sense of teamwork and purpose, which can contribute to improved employee engagement.

  • Enhanced reputation: Composting can help demonstrate your commitment to sustainability, attracting eco-conscious clients and investors.

  • Compliance future-proofing: Laws against throwing food scraps in the trash are already taking effect around the country. Starting your composting program now can position your office to be compliant from day one.

  • Knock-on sustainability: A composting program at a person’s work can encourage them to recognize the importance of sustainability in their home life and help expand the mission of composting.
