Food Waste Recycling In Kansas City
Meet FRED.
Feed FRED your food scraps and put your bottom line on a diet. The goal of FRED (Food Residual Environmental Diversion) program is to reduce the amount of food waste going into our landfills and recycle valuable organic resources. Any company with food or food production waste should inquire about participation.
We can perform a free, site-specific waste audit to determine if your organization is a good candidate for this program. We will evaluate bottom line savings that can be achieved by your participation in the FRED Program. We'll also explain how FRED can reduce your firm's future liabilities associated with landfilling.
Another benefit to your organization is this: FRED is a "green" and environmentally friendly program. It will make your company a role model for others in the corporate or non-profit community.
