    Why Compost? 

    In Canada, 58% of food waste goes to the landfills. According to the NZWC, 2.3 million tonnes of edible food gets wasted each year.

    If you live in a municipality that does not offer compost collection services known as the *Green Bin Program*, you are unfortunately a contributing factor to the environment’s polluted air quality in Canada but.. it is not your fault. As residents, you are at the hands of what your municipality can offer. For this reason, Esperance Group is here to help to every municipality who have these challenges and you can help. 

     

    What can you do to change this?

    Let Esperance Group collect your food scraps for you. In doing so, you go from being a part of the pollution to being a part of the solution.

    "Environmental pollution is an incurable disease. It can only be prevented".

    - Barry Commoner

    “Why can’t I put food waste in the garbage”?

    When food waste ends up in landfills, it rots and creates a powerful greenhouse gas called methane. As food breaks down, it begins to enter the soil and air, affecting the environment and small communities.

    “Where does my

    food waste go”?

    We dispose of food scraps in composting facilities. Composting facilities have systems that convert organic materials into compost, biogas, biomass gasification, anaerobic digestion and more. The big advantage is that these facilities work with qualified scientists and engineers to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

    “What benefit do I get out of this?”

    Would you want to walk around your city with terrible air quality that makes you feel sick? Would you want to turn your shower on and witness dirty water mixed with poop and pee come out? Because if it was not for waste water treatment, proper recycling practices, this would be lot of Canadians reality. Therefore, this does not only benefit you but it benefits the environment, future generations and municipalities. Who does not want clean water? Who wants to live in an area with an unbearable smell? When you dispose food waste improperly, this is what can happen. 

    “Shouldn't my municipality

    cover this”.

    Not 1 municipality have the budget to cover these types of projects for free. This is the reason why EG offer's food waste collection services at a low cost that benefits the municipality and the environment by diverting food waste from landfills. At Esperance Group, the residents who we service are perfectly aware of how much they are paying and how much they have paid over time. Imagine going to the grocery store every month with uncertainty of how much the item you always purchase will cost. In conclusion, Esperance Group does not only offer a service that is needed, we also offer peace of mind.
