Here’s what making the switch to CERO looks like:

1. Assessment
A CERO compost expert will help assess the volume of food waste your business produces—either through an on-site visit, a phone call, or a virtual meeting. For the average restaurant or supermarket in Massachusetts, food waste makes up about 65% of what's typically thrown away. This assessment helps us recommend the right setup and service schedule for your needs.
2. Set Up
CERO delivers clean, commercial-grade compost bins directly to your site. Each bin is equipped with durable wheels for easy mobility. You can place them in your kitchen, storeroom, loading dock, or wherever is most convenient for your operations.
Fill the bin with food scraps throughout the week—we’ll empty, re-line, and wipe it down at every pickup to keep things clean and odor-free. No pests, no mess, no extra effort.


3. Reduce and Save
Once food scraps are removed, your trash dumpster is noticeably emptier—and odor-free. That’s when it’s time to call your waste hauler and reduce your pickup frequency. Many of our partners have cut back on trash service and saved significantly over the course of the year.
4. Relax
Fill your carts with food waste—CERO takes care of the rest. We understand composting is new for many businesses, so we provide free multilingual training for both staff and management to ensure a smooth transition.
With CERO, you can feel confident that your food scraps are being returned to the soil, helping reduce carbon pollution and support climate solutions. Your whole team can take pride in contributing to the global effort to fight climate change.
