Golden Gate Disposal & Recycling Co. and Sunset Scavenger Co. collect food scraps and other compostable materials from restaurants and residences in San Francisco and Oakland. Dixon, Calif.-based Jepson Prairie Organics processes the materials to make the compost. All three companies are subsidiaries of San Francisco-based Norcal Waste Systems. The composting program has drawn interest from the United Kingdom, South Korea, Taiwan, Canada and several large cities in the United States, according to Norcal.
