4ft Commercial ProtaPod™
Commercial ProtaPod Composting System - 4 foot polyethylene body with metal stand and drainage kit. Please call or email for a shipping quote on multiple units. These units do not have lids.
ProtaPods no longer include collection jars. For longer life and ease of cleaning, we recommend using clear glass or plastic receptacles that can be obtained at local mass merchandisers. Select ones with plastic lids so that holes are easy to drill for mounting between filter and body.

MUNICIPAL RECYCLING SERVICES
Divert AND recycle all residential, commercial and institutional food scraps from the municipal solid waste stream BEFORE trash collection
- Mitigate germs and odors associated with garbage receptacles by diversion of scraps into pod
- Remaining recyclables in waste stream have lower levels of contaminants due to separation of organics, thus improving overall recycling rates and waste diversion ratios
- Keeps critters out of backyard compost bins and trash receptacles by removal of kitchen waste
- Eliminates the need for insinkerators while decreasing the quantity of organic biosolids that must be processed at water treatment facilities
- Reduces anaerobic decay in landfills, the primary source of anthropogenic methane, a greenhouse gas 20+ times more potent than CO2
- Saves energy and lowers the carbon footprint by decentralizing waste pickup

Significant reduction of fresh manure and carcasses in both volume and weight at commercial livestock operations
- Recapture valuable proteins & lipids as renderable, self-separating biomass
- Low cost production of sustainable aquaculture / aquaponic feed without depletion of pelagic ocean fisheries
- Nutritional food for most varieties of domesticated poultry
- Enhances backyard habitat for insect-loving migratory song birds using specialty feeder
- A live, high quality supplemental food rich in calcium that is ideal for herps and ornamental fish
