Waste collection is a critical component: Agri-Cycle brings food full circle.
Agri-Cycle is the premier food-waste-collection service in the Northeast, and we are growing rapidly across the US. We recycle organic waste via anaerobic digestion and composting, turning it into renewable energy and healthy soil.
Our partners include supermarkets, restaurants, universities, distribution centers, food processing plants, corporate cafeterias, school districts, municipalities, and hospitals.
Agri-Cycle works in conjunction with sister companies Stonyvale Farm and Exeter Agri-Energy, as well as a growing network of anaerobic digesters that convert food waste into electricity, fuel, fertilizer, and other beneficial products.
In 2025, Agri-Cycle was purchased by Closed Loop Partners, a New York-based private equity firm specializing in the circular economy and sustainable materials management.
Food, full circle
Nothing we collect goes to a landfill or an incinerator. Follow a load of scraps around the loop — tap any stage to see what happens.

Wasted food
Produce, meat, seafood, dairy, brewery and industrial streams are collected from restaurants, grocers, brewers and institutions — packaged or loose.

What partners actually say

“We changed our composting vendor at the beginning of last year to Agri-Cycle and we are quite happy. The pickup process is more convenient and less work for our staff; we can send Agri-Cycle a wider variety of compostable food and products which means less sorting on site; and it is less expensive than our previous composting process and substantially cheaper than the landfill. Rarely are there solutions for waste streams that are convenient, less work, and less expensive, but we have found one.”
