How Does the Program Work?
Collect Your Wasted Food
Use Divert’s space-saving bins to collect all front-of-house and back-of-house wasted food. When your bins are full, empty them into the provided Divert cart.
Divert Pickup
On your scheduled pickup day, a Divert team member will ensure a seamless pickup to collect your wasted food.
Renewable Energy Conversion
Your pickup will be processed into renewable natural gas through anaerobic digestion at a Divert facility.
Make an Environmental Impact
The wasted food you provide to Divert makes a real impact on our environment. Our facilities can offset as much as 23,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually – the equivalent of taking 5,000 cars off the road!
