It would be better if they offered both options, but they probably wanted to avoid offering a thousand dollar trash can.

From everything I read, I don't think it really has value. The company's goal is environmental, so the point of the feed is it entering the ecosystem again.
I would view it as more of a subscription service to reduce your carbon footprint pretty significantly as well as destink the kitchen trash.

No but chicken feed is like way less than a dollar per pound. So I can't imagine it is economically worth it to transport, quality check and sell.
Doing some quick math assuming each hold recycles 100 percent of waste that is 163 pounds (avg per household food waste) which gets reduced 50-75 percent. So you are talking MAYBE generating 25-50 bucks per household per year without considering costs.
