Our facility is engineered to separate organic material from its packaging with precision and scale—handling everything from canned and frozen goods to dry, wet, and bulk products. By recovering clean organics and diverting it, we’re reducing landfill impact while fueling the growth of our compost operations in Becker, MN.

Our Director of Waste Operations, Ryan Hesley, breaks down how our depackaging system, Thor, takes on even the toughest packaged food waste. He explains how the machine tears through material, isolates valuable organics, and preserves its quality for reuse in our compost operations.

On Memorial Day, we pause to remember the heroes who gave their lives in service to our nation. Their sacrifice is the foundation of the freedoms we cherish.

In observance, all Vonco campuses will be closed on Monday, May 24th. We’ll resume normal operations on Tuesday, May 25th.

Since arriving in summer 2025, our depackager, Thor, has been driving Vonco’s mission to innovate and build a more sustainable future. Thor is transforming packaged material and food waste into valuable compost feedstock, diverting tons of waste from landfills and giving it new life in our compost fill.

International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW), held annually during the first full week of May, is the world’s largest compost education campaign, uniting communities, schools, governments, and businesses to promote the benefits of composting and healthy soil.

Aligned with this mission, Vonco’s composting and organics recycling operations turn yard debris and industrial food waste into STA‑certified, nutrient‑rich compost, supporting soil health, reducing landfill waste, and demonstrating the large‑scale impact of responsible organics management!

Spring reminds us that nothing in nature goes to waste, and at Vonco, we’re proud to help keep it that way. Every day, we’re rethinking waste through modern landfill engineering, organics recycling, and landfill diversion to protect the health of our communities and our planet.

From transforming yard debris and food waste into nutrient‑rich, STA‑certified compost to reclaiming steel, cardboard, clean wood, and concrete for reuse, we’re committed to turning today’s waste into tomorrow’s resources.

Divert waste. Regenerate resources. Protect our planet. Happy Earth Day from Vonco. 🌱🌍
