Greenway Environmental Services is more than a large scale compost facility - it's a new approach to handling and processing waste which revamps our relationship to the environment. The concepts that drive Greenway's operations have driven living systems throughout history: using basic biology to turn waste into food and make dirty water clean.

Greenway operates a composting site near Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY, and has been active with outreach programs in their community and beyond, including GreenTeen, the Poughkeepsie Farm Project, and Clearwater. At the Clearwater Revival festival, Greenway introduced a zero-waste initiative which processes food waste from vendors into productive compost material.
