Greenville County's food scrap drop-off program provides an easy and environmentally friendly way for the public to reduce waste and contribute to sustainability efforts. This effort helps divert organic waste from landfills, reducing methane emissions.

You can collect food scraps like fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, and eggshells, then bring them to designated drop-off sites to be collected. After food scraps are dropped off, they are collected and taken to a composting facility.

Over time, the food scraps decompose and transform into nutrient-rich compost, which is then sold to local retailers. This high-quality compost enriches soil, promotes plant growth, and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, creating a sustainable cycle that benefits both the environment and the community.

Residents are encouraged to participate in composting by bringing their separated organic waste to the following Residential Waste and Recycling Centers:
