LFNW Compost

'Love Food Not Waste' compost. This compost is made from locally collected food scraps and yard debris via the city of Eugene. Each scoop has been aged in Rexius's industrial sized compost area until crumbly perfection. Great in gardens, pots, and anywhere that needs a soil nutrient boost.

LFNW began in 2011 to reduce some of the food waste Eugene sends to the landfill. The commercial program provides businesses, schools, public facilities, and other organizations the option to have food waste collected at a rate lower than that of garbage service and to be hauled to processors to become compost. The bagged compost is then sold at local retailers under the LFNW name. More than 270 businesses and organizations currently participate, and participants over time have collectively helped divert nearly 18,000 tons of food waste.

After a successful three-year residential pilot program, the LFNW program expanded citywide in 2019, allowing residential customers to place food scraps in their curbside yard waste bins to be made into LFNW compost.
