A system and methods for processing organic waste material for residential type environments includes a reactor tank dimensioned to receive a predetermined amount of organic material therein. The amount of organic material is selected based upon the size of the residential service area the system is servicing. The system includes homogenizing the volume of organic waste materials and selectively introducing the homogenized organic material into a reaction tank. A system for selectively removing gaseous by-products from the anaerobic digestion of organic material within the reactor tank is provided, along with a system for selective removal of waste solids from the reactor tank to provide for substantially continuous processing of materials and production of usable gases.
