Commercial Food Waste Drop-Off

Bulk food composting and de-packaging services (self-haul) 

Tiger depackager machine

Teton County Integrated Solid Waste and Recycling (ISWR) opened a Food Waste Composting Facility and began accepting food waste at the Trash Transfer Station on February 1, 2021. 

This service is open to residents and businesses with large amounts of food waste who are able to self-haul to the Food Waste Composting Facility, located on the same property as the Trash Transfer Station, a few miles south of Jackson. Please read below for guidelines, policy, and restrictions.

Pricing and procedures

 
The Transfer Station tip fee for food waste is $103/ton or approximately $.05/lb. (A $10 minimum applies.)
That's cheaper than sending trash to the landfill.

HOW IT WORKS: 

  • When  you arrive at the Trash Transfer Station, please notify the scale attendant of your food waste, and they will provide directions to the drop-off location will be given and provide assistance. Inspection of food waste by the compost yard attendant is required at the time of delivery.
  • Food waste may be brought unbagged (in 5-gallon or larger containers), or bagged, and be free of non-food waste. Food waste brought bagged will have to be tipped from the bags at the facility by the customer.  Any non-food waste found will be returned or your load may be rejected.
  • If you have unexpired, unopened food, please consider donating it first locally rather than composting. 
  • The food waste composting program can accept food waste only. No paper products, compostable or biodegradable plates, cups, or service ware is accepted. Additionally, shellfish are not allowed. Shellfish includes but is not limited to the meat and shell/exoskeleton of: shrimp, lobster, clams, mussels, scallops, and oysters. Please see a comprehensive and printable guide here.
  • Thank you for your participation and compliance to these policies and procedures.  

ISWR and its composting contractor, Arbor Works Organics, want to ensure the cleanest, highest quality end product. Please call 307-733-7678 or email ISWRoutreach@TetonCountyWY.gov with questions.
