A Maine company known for collecting and composting food scraps is ramping up its efforts, taking on waste collection in Bath and plans to compete to take on trash contracts for other towns. Garbage to Garden this month started collecting solid waste and recycling in Bath. The goal is to take over solid waste disposal for more cities and towns, according to Tyler Frank, founder and president of Garbage to Garden “We service a lot of other communities, but only in the sense that we pick up food waste from households that subscribe,” Frank said. “This is our first trash-and-recycle contract, and we certainly don’t expect it to be the last. We think this is the beginning of a whole new avenue of our business.”
