Office Composting in Houston
Answer
OnFarmCompost brings odor-free office composting to Houston-area workplaces. A 55-gallon gasket-sealed drum sits outside by your dumpster; your team keeps a lined can in the breakroom and carries tied bags out to the drum. We exchange and weigh drums weekly and report monthly ESG-ready diversion tonnage. $10 per barrel, free waste audit, 1-week free trial.
Odor-free office composting for Houston workplaces
OnFarmCompost helps Houston-area offices divert breakroom and kitchen waste without the smell or mess that sinks most workplace programs. Offices are a core part of our commercial service, alongside restaurants, food producers, coffee shops, and cafeterias.
A drum outside, a normal can inside
Commercial accounts use 55-gallon food-grade drums with gasket-sealed lids that contain odor and pests. The drum lives outside near your dumpster or another outside spot — never inside. In the breakroom or kitchen, your team keeps its own lined garbage can for food scraps, ties the liner like a normal trash bag, and carries it out to the drum instead of the dumpster. No special indoor equipment, no smell to manage.
Scheduled weekly pickup
We run a weekly route on a set schedule your facilities team can plan around. On your route day, we exchange drums: haul the full ones, weigh them, and leave clean ones. A filled drum runs 100 to 200 pounds — the lifting is our job.
What offices can compost
- All food scraps: fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, plate scrapings
- Coffee grounds and eggshells
We keep out fryer oil, paper of any kind — napkins, towels, and coffee filters included — and plastics of any kind, even serviceware labeled “compostable.”
Reporting for your sustainability goals
Offices get the same monthly ESG-ready diversion report as other commercial accounts: diversion tonnage, methane avoided, and contamination rate, built from your actual drum weights. That’s ready-made data whether you’re reporting to leadership, a property manager, or a green-building certification.
Pricing
$10 per barrel, no contract. Office service starts with a free waste audit and a 1-week free trial, then we scope drum count and route day.
Getting your team on board
Composting works in an office when it’s simple. Keep a lined can by the coffee station or kitchen, post a short list — food scraps and coffee grounds in; paper and anything plastic out — and have whoever takes out the trash carry the tied bag to the drum instead of the dumpster. That’s the whole program.
From office waste to reporting
The same program that clears breakroom waste from your trash gives you a monthly ESG-ready diversion report, and the food waste itself goes straight to local farms, where it’s sheet-composted into working soil.

Related Questions
Will the office compost bin smell?
No. The drum is a 55-gallon food-grade container with a gasket-sealed lid that contains odor and pests, and it sits outside near your dumpster — not in the breakroom. Inside, your team just uses a normal lined garbage can.
