We love working with organizations like Hunger Network. They rescue food and we make sure none goes to the landfill!

🍏 Together, We Made a Huge Impact in 2025! This past year, we rescued 1,466,231 pounds of food, the equivalent of 1,221,859 meals to feed our neighbors in need, and in doing so, we prevented 2.5 MILLION pounds of CO₂ emissions from entering our atmosphere! 🌱

And we didn’t stop there! Through our longstanding partnership with Rust Belt Riders, we composted 5,997 pounds of inedible food, diverting it from landfills and making a dynamic difference by reducing 4,288 pounds of CO₂ emissions. ♻️

Every pound matters. Every action counts. And it’s all thanks to YOU; our incredible community of supporters, volunteers, and partners.

Let’s keep fighting hunger and protecting our planet, together.🌍

Freeze your food scraps!!!
One of the questions we get all the time is how to store food scraps at home. There are lots of options, but freezing them takes the top spot for ease and comfort. It keeps things clean, keeps smells out of your kitchen, and makes collecting scraps feel simple no matter how busy life gets.

People love this method because it makes drop off days way easier. Frozen scraps stay neat, travel well, and are perfect for folks in apartments or anyone who needs a little extra time between visits to their drop-off site. Plus, they break down beautifully once they reach our facility which helps us turn every bit of your leftovers into living soil.

If you ever want more tips for making composting fit your lifestyle, we are always here to help. [email protected]

This holiday season, give your food scraps to Rust Belt Riders.

Instead of heading to the landfill, food scraps like meat, bones, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and even paper plates and napkins can all be composted.

If you know someone who is curious about composting but not quite ready to take the first step, a Rust Belt Riders gift certificate is an easy way to support them on their sustainability journey.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported us and helped us get to this point. We truly could not do this without our community.

Wishing you all a safe, joyful, and restful holiday season.
