Help save our natural resources by giving back to nature
How our program works
1. Select your composting container size. We'll drop it off to you
2. Start collecting your organic waste (compostables)
3. Leave your container out the night before your pickup date
4. We come to collect weekly
5. Know that you're making a positive difference!
6. Repeat steps #2 - #5 :-) The Earth thanks you!
What we compost
Do's & Dont's
Everything we collect goes to a commercial composting facility. This means you can compost MORE than you could traditionally on your own in your backyard. The best part about it: It's all recycled back into nature :-) and not added to the landfill contributing to harmful methane emissions.
Our compost pick-up program accepts the following items:
- Food Waste (anything that used to be alive): produce (fruits, vegetables), meat, dairy, breads, etc.
- Coffee/Tea Grounds & Filters
- Spoiled food
- Plants & Flowers
- Compostable Paper Cups, Plates, Bowls
- Soiled paper (towels, napkins, cartons, etc)
- Pizza Boxes/Paper Board
