In partnership with Community Compost Company, the City of Hoboken offers the following composting services. Community Compost Company takes collected food scraps to farms where they are recycled into compost, which is used to fertilize the soil.
Garbage from Hoboken is transported to a landfill in West Virginia and tipping fees alone cost $100 per ton of waste. Separating food scraps and other organic materials for composting is an easy way to divert waste from the landfill and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It also saves money for Hoboken taxpayers by cutting down on landfill fees and the volume and frequency of garbage collection.
We welcome the opportunity to visit your business and discuss your waste disposal operations. For any questions or to schedule a visit, please contact Jennifer Gonzalez at jgonzalez@hobokennj.gov or 201.420.2000 x3003.
