What types of organic material do you accept?

Packaged and unpackaged food material, liquids in tankers, totes, or drums, and organics on pallets or in bulk containers from manufacturers, distributors, grocers, processors, and haulers.

Do you accept packaged products or mixed loads?

Yes. We handle packaged products and mixed loads. During onboarding, we assess packaging types and volumes to route material to the appropriate facility and debagging process.

Which facilities handle deliveries?

Our Maryland Bioenergy Center (MBC) in Jessup, MD, and Maryland Organics Recovery Center (MORC) in Seaford, DE receive material by the ton or by the truck, including tankers.

How does anaerobic digestion work?

Microorganisms convert organic material into biogas in an oxygen-free environment. The biogas is upgraded to renewable natural gas, and the remaining digestate is used as a soil-enhancing amendment.

What are the benefits versus landfill or incineration?

Lower disposal risk and cost volatility, measurable landfill diversion, renewable energy generation, and a circular outcome where organic material becomes energy and soil-enhancing products.

How do we get started?

Request a Food Waste Assessment on our contact page. We’ll evaluate your streams, packaging, volumes, schedules, and routing to MBC or MORC, then provide a clear intake plan and pricing.

Reliable Organics Recycling in Maryland

Organics on pallets or in bulk containers
Pre-consumer and post-consumer food waste
Commercial kitchen or cafeteria waste

Each load is processed at one of our state-of-the-art Maryland facilities — MBC or MORC — designed for large-scale throughput and operational efficiency.

Our operations are designed for continuous uptime and odor control, with closed-loop systems that capture biogas and protect air and water quality.

How Anaerobic Digestion Works

Anaerobic digestion is a natural, biological process that converts organic waste into clean, renewable energy.
In a sealed environment, microorganisms break down organics without oxygen, producing biogas — which is upgraded into renewable natural gas (RNG) — and digestate, a valuable soil additive.

The result: your waste becomes energy, not pollution.
