Composting in Trenton
Trenton is the urban center of Mercer County and the home of Trenton Renewables, a food-waste processing facility. For participating households, Torus creates a direct way to separate kitchen scraps before they enter the regular trash stream.
The city’s Division of Solid Waste Management coordinates residential trash and recycling information, while countywide recycling is managed through the Mercer County Improvement Authority. Food scraps are a separate material stream, so they should not be placed in a standard recycling cart.
Keep the Torus bucket distinct from city trash and mixed recycling. The signup form confirms whether collection is available at a specific Trenton address, which matters because route availability can differ by neighborhood.
