Help Reduce Waste by Creating Renewable Resources

Food that is wasted and sent to landfills produces methane, a gas that is 84 times worse for the environment than carbon dioxide. In contrast, nothing is wasted in nature–everything becomes food for something else. Composting food waste prevents it from releasing methane gas and safely returns its rich nutrients back to the soil.

As much as 40% of food is wasted and sent to landfills

We compost all food and yard waste, and accept drop-offs at our Hansen Farm Road Facility.

Everyone is welcome to use the site—a 5-gallon bucket of food scraps is usually just a dollar or two—and, if you’re a Prince William County resident, you can drop off your compostable materials for free!

Grow your business and the earth by recycling food

Businesses of all sizes find that adding food waste to their recycling programs helps their top and bottom line as well as the environment. Bringing food waste to a composting facility is often cheaper than a landfill, can attract new customers, and helps boost employee morale.

We accept yard waste and all categories of food waste (Virginia DEQ Categories I, II, III and IV). If you are a business in unincorporated Prince William County, you can drop off your compostable material for free!

​We also process compostable foodware items from approved haulers or businesses as a Composting Manufacturing Alliance (CMA) member. For more information about becoming an approved hauler, please contact us.

Drop-Off Location

13012 Hansen Farm Road
Manassas, VA 20109

With easy access to Route 66 and 234 and a quick drop-off process, we have made food waste recycling an efficient process for our customers.
