Commercial Composting Services
food waste into compost
For years, composting has been relegated to being primarily the domain of gardeners and environmentalists.
At Moonshot, we’re bringing this incredibly beneficial process for diverting food waste from landfills out of backyards and into the corporate world.
Our commercial composting services empower Houston businesses to:
- reduce your ecological footprint
- give back to your local community
- demonstrate to your stakeholders your ESG commitment.
Contact us today to take your Moonshot.

Facilities We Serve
Restaurants
Houston has one of the most diverse food scenes in the world, but what every restaurant shares is food waste to the tune of half-a-pound per meal, waste that can be turned into a valuable commodity.
Offices
Take all that unclaimed food your coworkers leave in the office fridge and help your company contribute to local sustainability efforts.
Schools & Colleges
There are 14 major institutions of learning in and around Houston, with many more satellite campuses and K-12 schools beside. Waste diverted from all those cafeterias, dorms, and apartments can do a lot of good in the community.
Hospitals
Houston’s medical footprint is immense, and the amount of food waste produced by the industry is equally large, and an enormous opportunity to reduce strain on landfills.
Many other types of operations can take advantage of our services as well, including:
- Assisted Living Centers
- Daycares
- Country Clubs
- Food Halls
How It Works
Set Aside Compostables
After we consult with you to understand the scope of your desired composting program, we arrange the pickup schedule that works for you. We are TRUE AdvisorTM certified and can plan as robust a waste diversion program as you want. All pre-consumer compostables are acceptable. We can also take post-consumer waste, in some cases. Contact us for more information!
We’ll Manage the Details
Everything you need to collect the compostable waste–step cans, compostable bags, and outdoor bins with airtight lids (so no foul smells to worry about)–is provided by us. We leave you a clean bin and fresh bags at every pickup.
We’ll Report Your Impact
After every pickup, we calculate the pounds diverted from landfills and report the diversions, methane emissions avoided, and compost created. This makes it easy to broadcast your accomplishments to your customers and inspire your team.
Boast How Much Waste You’re Diverting
Your waste diversion achievements are easy to track and share via your personalized Diversion Dashboard. Here you’ll find monthly and overall stats on how many pounds of waste you’ve diverted from landfills, the equivalent amount of emissions avoided, and more that you can use in your ESG reporting and sustainability marketing.

Commercial Composting FAQs
For our commercial services we typically use 55-gallon drums, though container selection is part of our onboarding process.
As part of your onboarding, we consult with you to determine a pickup schedule that works for you. In most cases, we collect no more than twice per week.
We take everything we collect to a compost facility, where the food waste is mixed with vegetative waste to become compost.
