FARM POWERED® FOOD WASTE COLLECTION AND RECYCLING
SAVE MONEY • PROTECT THE PLANET • SUSTAIN A LOCAL FARM
IT’S ONLY WASTE IF YOU WASTE IT!
Vanguard Renewables is the Largest Organics Recycler in the Northeast
Vanguard Renewables’ Farm Powered® organics collection and recycling program is a zero waste, closed loop lifecycle that regenerates what was previously considered waste and converts it into renewable energy.
Food manufacturers, food processors, brewers and beverage producers, food retailers, universities and schools, municipalities, grease trap cleaners and other food providers get a reliable and sustainable food waste solution 365 days a year.
Our portfolio of Farm Powered anaerobic digestion facilities currently process nearly 200,000 tons per year of combined on-farm and off-farm organics. In 2020, Vanguard will be recycling more than 500 tons of food waste per day into clean, renewable energy. The opportunity to purchase Farm Powered renewable power completes a closed loop organics to energy lifecycle that helps meet carbon neutral initiatives.

COLLECTION SOLUTIONS TO FIT YOUR BUSINESSGet a clean, customized food waste collection and recycling solution that fits your needs and your schedule.
THE FARM POWERED PROCESSYour waste is collected based on the schedule you need and transported to one of our Vanguard Renewables anaerobic digesters. There it is combined with manure from the farm in a large sealed tank where microorganisms naturally found in the manure convert it to biogas. The biogas is then processed to create either renewable natural gas or renewable electricity that can be purchased by businesses and communities.
