Partner with Torus for impact.

Who we are

Torus is a West Windsor-based nonprofit focused on reducing food waste and promoting environmental sustainability through composting. Founded in 2023 by four Lawrenceville students, we are a passionate team working to make composting accessible to every household and business. You can learn more about our story.

What we do

• Curbside composting. Free food waste pickup directly from homes and businesses. See where we serve.
• Community engagement. We partner with local organizations and businesses to promote sustainability and reduce environmental impact. Meet our supporters.

Our goals

• Reduce food waste. Roughly a third of food produced is wasted. We want to expand to 10,000 households and divert far more scraps from landfills.
• Lower emissions. By diverting food waste, we aim to prevent about 1,000,000 pounds of CO2e emissions per year as we scale.
• Promote sustainability. We educate communities about composting and sustainable living through our programs and partnerships.
• Expand our impact. With more funding we can reach underserved areas and grow our outreach.
