ACEnet Recycles and Composts
An estimated 33.2 billion tons of food waste - 95 percent of America's total food waste - ended up in landfills and combustion facilities in 2013, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Alternatively, food waste can naturally decompose into a rich fertilizer compost if it's given steadily turning, soil, water and a few months' time.
ACEnet is doing its part! Here at ACEnet we are proud to offer our clients and tenants options for recycling and composting, which is especially important at our Food Ventures Center.
Athens Hocking Recycling Centers offer these services, along with waste removal to residential homes and businesses in Albany, Amesville, Athens, New Marshfield, The Plains, Chauncey, Glouster, Jacksonville, Trimble, Logan, and Haydenville. Click for full list of pickup routes. For more information on the Athens Hocking Recycling Centers, the areas they serve & the services they offer please visit their website.
