Gallins Family Farm's composting program is a leader in the Triad for providing professional organic waste services. We work with businesses to divert organic waste from landfills. The organic waste we collect is recycled through composting, and the resulting compost is distributed to local farmers to improve soil quality for better crop production. The process stimulates the local economy and benefits the entire community: businesses, farmers, and consumers.

Benefits Of Waste Reduction For Companies
"There are many environmental benefits from waste reduction. Avoiding waste slows the depletion of natural resources, conserves valuable landfill space, and cuts down on the pollution associated with manufacturing. In addition, waste reduction offers businesses further advantages, including:
- Economic Advantages. Potential economic advantages of waste reduction include reduced waste disposal fees, savings in material and supply costs, revenues from marketing reusable materials, and savings from more efficient work practices.
- Enhanced Corporate Image. An enhanced corporate image as an environmentally conscious company might attract customers. Surveys show that more and more consumers consider a firm's environmental record when making purchasing decisions.
- Improved Employee Morale. Employees may appreciate company's efforts to reduce waste. This heightened morale could increase employee enthusiasm and productivity.
- Compliance with Local or State Solid Waste Regulations. Some states and localities in the United States require businesses to take steps to reduce or recycle their solid waste. Some communities also restrict the amount or types of waste accepted at solid waste management facilities. By implementing an aggressive waste reduction program, a business can help ensure compliance with these requirements.
