How We Can Help You with Diversion

Your operation’s byproducts and discards (waste) are commodities that have value for someone else. We view your discards as a valuable resource that can be diverted to another organization which uses that material to create something new, it has a very different and positive value. Knowing what this is and finding the organizations that can use it are how we unlock that value to ensure our clients maximize the return on their waste resources.

Cumberland can recycle many manufacturing and production food and beverage wastes, including:

  • Bakery (including bread, cookies, and crackers)
  • Candy and confections
  • Snack foods (including corn and potato-based products)
  • Proteins (including fish, pork, poultry, and beef)
  • Condiments
  • Dairy (including milk, cheese, and ice cream)
  • Beverages (including juices, soda, beer, wine, and spirits)
  • Grains (including pasta and flour)
  • Fats and oils
  • Waste-water pre-treatment sludges from food processing lines

Ensuring Sustainable Environmental and Financial Success

Delivering recycling programs that ensure “highest and best use” requires constant research and market knowledge to help ensure that we’re engaging with those buyers who value your operations’ waste as a feedstock for their production.

In managing food waste, Cumberland Recycling uses the EPA’s food waste hierarchy to deliver the highest and best use value for our clients. We know where to go with each product and consider things like transportation, logistics, and regional markets to ensure that our clients leverage the full value of their discards and byproducts.

Certified product destruction is when tainted products are destroyed or disposed of properly. The process is validated to ensure that the product is not being resold or utilized illegally.

Cumberland Recycling provides certified destruction of food waste as a service to its customers. Whether you have a product that is contaminated, outdated, recalled, spoiled, or failed to pass quality assurance, you cannot risk it reaching the marketplace. We can help.

You can trust that Cumberland will handle the materials safely and confidentially and provide you with written certification that the entire process has been completed.
