Waste is a serious thing here at Avian Carting, and we don’t take it lightly. The last thing we want is to see trash piling up in a landfill when it could be put to good use. Organic recycling isn’t just about getting rid of food scraps, yard clippings, or coffee grounds. It’s about giving them a second life. These everyday leftovers are packed with nutrients that can be transformed into compost, boosting soil and supporting healthier plants.
Let’s dive in (pun intended)! Here are the major benefits of choosing Avian Carting’s organic recycling service, and how you can help make the world a greener place:
Keep Waste Out of Landfills
Landfills are the ultimate dead ends for organic material. When food waste decomposes, it releases methane, a greenhouse gas much stronger than carbon dioxide. By capturing organics and sending them to composting facilities, we avoid that smelly side effect.
With our organic recycling service, your scraps go straight from your bin to local partner farms or composting operations that handle them the right way.
Return Nutrients Back to the Earth
Think of your banana peels and grass clippings as gold (organic gold). Instead of rotting uselessly, they become compost: rich material that boosts soil health, increases water retention, and supports plant growth. With our Avian recycling services, we’re helping close the loop between “waste” and “resource.”
We Do the Heavy Lifting So You Don’t Have To
Life is complicated enough, so we like to keep things simple. Here’s how it works:
- We deliver a sealable container to your home or business.
- You fill it with approved organic materials.
- On collection day, we haul it off.
- We transport it to a local compost facility or partner farm.
You don’t have to learn a new science. Just toss in your scraps, set the bin out, and we’ll take care of the rest.
We Accept Most Scraps
One of the coolest things about our program is its flexibility. Here’s a full list of everything you can recycle with us:
- Fruit and vegetable peels
- Coffee grounds

- Napkins and paper towels
- Leaves, grass, yard waste
We accept a lot, so you don’t have to overthink it.
Benefit Your Local Community & Ecosystems
Because we partner with nearby farms and composting operations, your organics don’t have to travel far. That means less transportation emissions, more local cycles, and support for the agricultural community right here in Southeastern NC.
When your business or household starts organic recycling, you’re sending a message: you care. You’re reducing your footprint while helping to inspire others. We’ve seen businesses use this as part of their green branding, sustainability goals, or corporate practices.
A Greener Tomorrow is Coming
Municipalities and states are increasingly regulating organic waste disposal. Many areas throughout NC are pushing for landfill bans on food waste. Getting on board early with Avian Carting gives you a head start, so there’s no scrambling when rules tighten.
Tips for Making the Most of It
- Line your bin: Use compostable bags or newspaper liners to keep things tidy (don’t use standard plastic)
- Balance your “greens & browns”: Alternate kitchen scraps (we call these ‘greens’) with paper, leaves, or dried yard waste (a.k.a. ‘browns’) to help with composting.
- Avoid contaminants: No plastics, metals, glass, or non-compostable packaging.
- Stay current: We’ll provide guidelines on what’s acceptable. If something changes, we’ll let you know!
