Our Purpose

Mission: OffBeet Compost diverts restaurant, household, and commercial food scraps from going to traditional waste facilities (landfills & incinerators) in the Merrimack Valley Region.  We collect food scraps and bring them to composting sites, local farms and waste to energy facilities where scraps are broken down into nutrient rich material.  Finished compost is redistributed to participants and also sold to local farmers, gardeners and landscapers.  Vision: We are committed to creating a resilient green economy in the Merrimack Valley Region that generates local green jobs, empowers community members to be land stewards and contributes to an environmentally sustainable landscape.
