WHY SELECT MILLING

As a third-generation family agri-business offering material transportation, processing, and disposal capabilities since 1994, Select Milling is proud to specialize in turning food waste into valuable resources. Profoundly displayed in our work in recycling food waste from processed food, food by-products, liquid materials, dry materials, and packaged foods, we believe it is important to protect our environment for future generations by recycling rather than disposal. Select Milling will help you responsibly dispose of your excess or expired food products and contribute to a more sustainable future.

 

Our work in repurposing food waste, such as dairy, meat, and produce evidently creates high quality and nutritious meals for our livestock.  However, equally notable is how it provides an alternative to landspreading while reducing landfill waste. At Select Milling, we offer a comprehensive service, covering everything from the safe and certified destruction of packaging materials, to repurposing edible waste, to providing a complete recycling loop for your business. If you want a sustainable, responsible, and efficient way to manage your food waste: choose Select Milling.

AN ALTERNATIVE TO LAND SPREADING

Land Spreading refers to the practice of applying food waste, often in the form of organic materials or animal manure, directly to land as a form of fertilizer. While land spreading is a common method for managing food waste and agricultural by-products, Select Milling, LLC provides a comprehensive service that promises to be a more efficient, controlled, and sustainable alternative.
