Commercial food composting introduces strict requirements for managing odorous vapors and maintaining a community-friendly footprint. The Foodster series integrates advanced in-vessel food composting with high-performance biofiltration all within a single mobile roll-off dumpster unit. By pulling odorous air through a self-contained biological filter media, the system neutralizes volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to guarantee completely odorless discharge vapors

How Integrated Biofiltration Works

Odorous vapors are captured directly where they originate to prevent them from ever escaping into the surrounding environment:

  1. Containment: Heavy-duty, molded DungsterGard PE covers create an airtight seal across the top of the host dumpster, trapping all volatile organic compounds and moisture inside the vessel.

  2. Vacuum Collection: A dedicated secondary blower system continuously pulls the trapped vapors out of the active composting chamber under negative pressure.

  3. Neutralization: The air is forced through a 5-yard internal biofiltration chamber pre-loaded with specialized filter media. Microorganisms within the filter naturally break down and digest the odor molecules before the clean air is discharged safely into the atmosphere.


Scalable Capacities & Product Specifications

The integrated composter/biofilter line is engineered across multiple standard roll-off dumpster sizes to suit your facility's daily organic volumes. For ultra-high-volume needs, systems scaling up to 100 cubic yards can be deployed utilizing standalone dumpster vessels configured entirely as dedicated biofilters running adjacent to your composting units.

Core Advantages & Logistics

Integrating your biofilter and composting setup into a unified mobile container dramatically simplifies your infrastructure planning:

  • Immediate Deployment: A Foodster system arrives at your site fully assembled with factory-loaded filter media. Once offloaded from transport, it is immediately ready to receive raw organic materials.

  • No Permanent Footprint: Because these systems are hosted entirely inside a mobile container, they can be placed seamlessly in parking lots or near public facilities without requiring heavy ground construction or complex environmental permitting.

  • Off-Grid Solar Capabilities: Systems can be outfitted with onboard solar panels mounted directly to the DungsterGard covers, utilizing built-in battery configurations to power the entire aeration and vacuum system without any line voltage hookups. Standard 115VAC power options are also available.

  • Remote Monitoring: Each unit includes a cellular gateway, giving your operations team the power to track internal system diagnostics, temperatures, and status indicators remotely via any phone or computer.
