## Description

FCI Sandstone, Minnesota is looking for a compost manufacturer or like company to recycle our dehydrated food waste. We have two dehydrator units, which we use to dehydrate our scrap foods for weight reduction. The by-product produced from the process is nutrient-rich and is safe for commercial farming and gardening. We are looking for a company who could use the byproduct for making compost or using it for their farming or gardening needs. The product when dehydrated has an appearance like dry coffee grounds.

We are looking for a company who would provide a 2–3-yard storage container for the product with a pickup schedule of every other week, pickups could vary depending on storage containers size. As the product can be used to generate benefits, we would like to set up a contract to sell the product to a vendor. Please see the attached lab results for the nutrient values of the by-product.
