Running a restaurant means dealing with food waste every day—but it doesn't have to end up in landfill. Our Restaurant Food Waste Composting Program makes it easy to turn your kitchen scraps, prep waste and plate leftovers into nutrient-rich compost, cutting your environmental footprint while supporting local agriculture and circular food systems.

This enrollment form helps you get started quickly. You'll tell us about your restaurant, estimate your weekly waste volume, choose the container sizes that fit your kitchen, and set a pickup schedule that works with your operations. Whether you're a small café producing a few bins a week or a busy restaurant group managing waste across multiple locations, we'll tailor the service to your needs.

Why composting matters for restaurants

Food waste is one of the largest contributors to landfill methane emissions, and the restaurant industry is a major source. By diverting organic waste to composting, you're reducing greenhouse gases, conserving landfill space and creating a valuable soil amendment that closes the loop on food production. It's a win for your brand, your community and the planet.

Many cities now offer incentives, rebates or lower waste collection fees for businesses that compost—so this isn't just good for the environment, it can save you money too.

How Paperform makes enrollment seamless

We've built this form to make onboarding as easy as possible. Using Paperform's conditional logic, the form adapts based on your answers—showing the right container options, pickup frequencies and service add-ons for your specific situation. You can upload photos of your waste staging area, select multiple pickup days, and even calculate your estimated monthly service cost with live pricing calculations built into the form.

Once you submit, the form can automatically create a service agreement, send your details to our logistics team, and trigger a welcome email with next steps—all without a single manual handoff. If you need signatures on terms or a formal service agreement, you can connect this form to Papersign to send and track documents for eSignature, keeping everything in one auditable thread.

For composting programs managing multiple restaurant partners, Stepper can turn each enrollment into a structured onboarding workflow: provision containers, schedule the first pickup, send driver instructions, update your CRM and notify your sustainability team—all automatically, so nothing slips through the cracks.
