Ag Choice

Ag Choice was established in 2005 as New Jersey’s first and only commercial food waste and livestock manure on-farm composter. Over the years our focus has shifted from livestock manure collection to specializing in food waste recycling. We work closely with, and are permitted by, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) to collect and compost a wide array of organics which includes food waste, leaves, manufacturing organics such as coffee, spent leaf, nut and bean products. In addition to our compost site, we operate a 22,000 square foot warehouse location where we specialize in single-serve coffee capsule recycling. The Ag Choice Capsule Connections Program started with our owner’s passion to create a program in the community to serve the under-served; specifically, students with disabilities. When he was in high school, he worked alongside students with disabilities and saw how dedicated and hard-working they were, but then how those same individuals were often overlooked when it came time to get a job after high school. With the expansion of the company, Ag Choice was able to bring this passion to a reality. The Capsule Connections Program was launched with the owner’s high school alma mater through their work-based learning program. These students come to work in our warehouse environment for a few hours a day, several times a week. They get to experience new ways to gain transferrable skills that we hope will prepare them for a job after high school. While the company grows, Capsule Connections will too. Our vision is to be able to offer this program to as many students as possible.
