Agri-Cycle Energy: Food Full Circle

Vermont is the only state in the nation to ban all food scraps from landfills, (some states require partial bans). Since the law went into effect in 2020, 46 haulers have stepped up to the plate to help Vermont businesses manage their food scraps. Agri-Cycle works with hundreds of partners throughout the Northeast, making it the premier organics hauling company in the region. Our unique model is a fusion of Maine’s independent farming tradition and energy innovation. Waste collection is a critical component: Agri-Cycle brings food full circle.
