Natural Upcycling East
(Formerly Empire Zero)
Have you noticed how much food ends up getting thrown into the garbage?
Send it to a local organics recycling facility with us!
Natural Upcycling East (NUE) purchased the former Empire Zero business in 2017, which expanded our business in Eastern NY into Massachusetts. From the Capital District and Hudson Valley of New York to the Berkshires and Pioneer Valley of Massachusetts, we partner with locations that generate more than 2 tons of food waste per week to redefine waste in your community. NUE provides food waste and compost management for businesses, offices, institutions and restaurants.
Together we can decrease landfilling and build a more sustainable future.
Join the Natural Upcycling team! Let's redefine waste.
SERVICES
COMMERCIAL
Natural Upcycling offers a commercial compost recycling service to businesses and institutions to support your sustainability goals. Large or small, get in touch with us and we will get you started with a food waste pick up program!
Our standard commercial composting service utilizes 32 or 64 gallon totes, which are easy to fill and move. Our services are entirely based upon the specific needs of our clients, so we will tailor our service to you, though we prefer to service at least once per week in order to maintain a high level of service and customer satisfaction.
Let us help you divert material from the landfill, recycle more of your valuable compostables, and achieve zero waste!
Natural Upcycling partners with local compost facilities in your area in order to help reduce truck emissions and keep the food waste and related compost products in the local system. If you think this is something you or your employer might be interested in fill out our Join Us form and we will be in touch shortly!
